1937 reissue



'A Fool's Advice' was re-released as 'Meet the Mayor'. Frank Fay had a terrible reputation in show business, owing to an exceptionally large ego and a history of abusing people verbally and physically. Warner Bros. declined to handle the reissue of 'A Fool's Advice', but did agree to refilm the title sequence. These new credits reflect the low regard Fay's professional colleagues had for him: his name appears in the smallest possible type as both star and author, with the supporting cast members' names more than twice the size of Fay's.
