Details.
Wiki.
Neighborhood House is a 1936 American comedy film directed by Charley Chase, Harold Law, and Alan Hale, Sr. and written by Charley Chase, Harold Law, Richard Flournoy, and Arthur Vernon Jones. The film stars Charley Chase, Rosina Lawrence, Darla Hood, George Meeker, Ben Taggart, and Dick Elliott. Originally produced as a 55-minute feature first titled Bank Night and then Neighborhood House, the film faced legal action from the actual Bank Night corporation, which organized cash giveaways in America's movie theaters. The film was withdrawn, cut down to 22 minutes, and released as a standard Charley Chase short by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
The often cited release date of May 9, 1936, is erroneous. That was when the unreleased feature version was scheduled for distribution; the Motion Picture Herald trade review of the feature was published on May 9. The short-subject version was released later in the year.
