"Detectives" is a classic comedy. We have included this film in our program to illustrate the work and contributions of Marceline Day, a star of Silent Hall of Fame.

Warner Bros. keeps a copy of the film locked in their vaults. They do not plan to release it on DVD. They have also refused our multiple requests to make a copy of the film available to Silent Hall of Fame, so we can show it to the public.
