Comedy feel good

Chief Yowlachie was a Yakama actor and opera singer who became a familiar Hollywood character actor, appearing in dozens of westerns and comedies from the 1920s through the 1950s.

Just as strong is You Gotta Stay Happy (1948): A runaway heiress fleeing her own wedding night talks a reluctant cargo pilot into flying her across the country.
