I have a color version of this episode on tape that I recorded more than 20 years ago when I was a kid, but I didn't tape the title card. I was wondering what the title was all these years. Now I know.
This was Frank Tashlin's final cartoon for the studio (released in August 1938) before he defected to, of all places, the Walt Disney studio to work in their story department {although very briefly; then, to Columbia from 1939 through '43, returning to Schlesinger in' 43}. The "crooners" at 5:04 are caricatures of Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee. "Cab Calloway" at 5:37. Note the ad for "Old Hiram Binder's Cut Plug" tobacco at 5:34- that's a reference to the studio's production manager, Henry Binder.
So glad to have seen this one again. Been looking for it forever. I saw the colorized version on Cartoon Network with alterations to the blackface gags.
4:11 I loved that song (Nick o' teen plays) MATCHES:Dum dum dum duuuum, Youuuu Shouldn't smoke, you shouldn't smoke, you shouldn't smoke! DEEP VOICE MATCH: dum dum dum dum dum dum MATCHES: It's no fun to smoke just one, take six at a stroke, fume and buzz and sizzle... BRITISH PIPE: Children should not smoke, rather! MATCHES: Light a fag and take a drag BULL: This is not a joke! GYPSY: You will squirm and OWL: Hooot! CORNCOB PIPE: Little kids shouldn't smoke tobacky!
this would be better to use than any of the anti-smoking adds over the years plus you can't go wrong with the Looney Tunes; never met anyone who doesn't have at least one of the characters they like
1:54 "D-d-don't you know what happens to, uh, l-l-little pun-, er, b-b-boys who smoke?"

The lesson is: Don't Smoke, Steal.

This would explain why Porky was so messed up later on.

Yes, that was released the following November, 'Hazy'- but this WAS Frank's last Porky cartoon, until "Porky Pig's Feat" in 1943.

@fromthesidelines I think "You're An Education" was actually the last one released that Tashlin directed in his first stint.
