Muriel Landers aka Girlie Whirls (1957)    

Muriel Landers signed with Jules White who had hopes of continuing a series of shorts other than the still strong 3 Stooges comedies. This new series was billed as GIRLIE WHIRLS and the result, TRICKY CHICKS, was pretty dismal. No further GIRLIE WHIRLS subjects were produced, however with Landers still under contract, she went on to torture audiences as "Tiny" in SWEET AND HOT, one of the poorest received of any the 3 Stooges two-reelers.

This would be the final attempt at a new short-subjects comedy series by Columbia, and the one short produced, TRICKY CHICKS, is currently available for review through our archives.
