How would I imatate that set up? I mean everything, the guy standing on a (stage?) in front of a black background adddressing the audience in black and white with the poor sound quality.

I'm guessing this wasn't filmed in front of an audience and they didn't have laughter tracks back then?

"you remember we had the week before christmas last year?" hahaha

Painfully bad, they must have been desperate for entertainment back then.

i agree with eddy bout the dumb ones

[TheStacykeys]

just came upon the video because of Boardwalk Empire, so I now know that this guy Eddie Cantor is real an not a fictional character, suddenly I'm very interested in this time period, my favs on the show, Jimmy Darmody, Chalky White, Lucky Luciano and Arnold Rothstein,

If you get the chance, check out the BOADWALK EMPIRE episode called "The Dumber They Come" with a great performance/homage to Cantor.

thx for posting this. this is a great opportunity to feel like you're in a the theater of a 1920's Cantor show, you get the same feeling.

How wonderful to be able to reminisce on the great stars of the past - entertainers of his calibre would be wonderful to see again. I cannot believe that he turned down the Jazz Singer.
