The Naggers

This basic premise predated the popular radio series The Bickersons and many future TV marital comedies.

Often listed in the trade magazines as either part of the Vitaphone Varieties or "Pepper Pots", these black and white comedies averaged 7 to 10 minutes in length.

Jack Norworth was a songwriter and ex-husband of the famous Nora Bayes, both subjects of a later Warner feature, Shine On, Harvest Moon (1944).

[1] He teamed with his then-wife Dorothy Adelphi in a pilot film, Odds and Ends, released in May 1929 as part of the Vitaphone Varieties.

The little Nagger comedies were played before the main features in 1930-1932, along with the latest Looney Tune or other accompanying Vitaphone short subject, and were generally well received by the critics (writing in Film Daily and other periodicals).
