The next act is a baritone who, standing next to their table, delivers the melancholy ballad ‘The Curse of an Aching Heart’ to such effect that Stan weeps uncontrollably and Ollie, almost overcome himself, has to comfort him with a manly embrace. The singer’s absence from nearly all the shots focuses our attention on Stan and Ollie’s reaction to the song of spurned love. The suggestion that they are moved by the lyrics’ reflection of their own lives (perhaps Stan ‘left’ Ollie to get married) is particularly strong, since they are sung by and to members of the same sex. In this scene, Stan’s cry is less childlike than feminine, as he reacts in the conventional way of a woman to the romantic song. (Jonathan Sanders, Another Fine Dress)
