Robert Benchley was one of the top humorists of the first half of the 20th century..  He also was a pretty decent comic actor.  And quite an alcoholic. Happy birthday, Bob.

He made quite a few comedy shorts.  One of his best-known routines was The Treasurer's Report, and it was the first film he made, at a time when sound itself was still a novelty.
