He started on stage in 1906 and made his Broadway debut in either The Prince of Pilsen (1911) or So Long Letty (1916). His first film appearance was in 1912, but then he went back to stage and did not return to films until 1929. He performed in operettas and musicals, including The Ziegfeld Follies of 1917, the original production of the Jerome Kern musical Sally (1920) and the Gershwins' Lady Be Good (1924). In the last, he introduced the song "Oh, Lady Be Good!"
Catlett made a handful of silent film appearances, but his film career did not catch on until the advent of talking pictures allowed moviegoers to experience his full comic repertoire. Three of his most remembered roles were as the theatre manager driven to distraction by James Cagney's character in Yankee Doodle Dandy, the local constable who throws the entire cast in jail and winds up there himself in the Howard Hawks' classic screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby, and as Morrow, the drunken poet in the restaurant who "knows when [he's] been a skunk" and takes Longfellow Deeds on a "bender" in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.

FILM-TO-VIDEO-TRANSFER BY BRUCE LAWTON!
A hilarious pre-code treat starring popular stage and screen comedian Walter Catlett, alongside the equally magnificent Eugene Pallette. Also in on the fun is Mrs. Leon Errol herself, Dorothy Granger, and veteran character actor Matt McHugh. This two-reeler, from Paramount Pictures, utilizes a unique and surreal plot device that must be seen to be believed. For frame of reference, Catlett is like Robert Woolsey on speed [in fact, Catlett served as one of Woolsey's main influences] and classic comedy fans will remember Pallette for his memorable role as the patriarch in the screwball hit "My Man Godfrey." This is truly a great one folks, don't miss it!
