From Soup to Nuts is a silent short subject directed by E. Livingston Kennedy starring comedy duo Laurel and Hardy.
After the wife of the household inspects them she gets shown a notice apologizing that the only available waiters were the duo, where it is revealed on the paper that their previous experience in waiting was at railroad eating houses.
The pair get ready to start work in the kitchen where Stan tells the chef (who is busy cooking) not to wear his hat.
However, as Ollie walks off, he trips on the kitchen floor and smashes the plate, causing him to be embarrassed by the onlooking maid.
From Soup to Nuts was remade as the first 20 minutes of Laurel & Hardy's 1940 feature film A Chump at Oxford.
