Famous Hollywood faces of the day included Joe E. Brown ("the big mouth") at 3:00; The Four Marx Brothers (including Zeppo) at 3:26; Jimmy Durante (and his "schnozzola") at 5:13 and Marie Dressler at 6:28. Also seen briefly are Maurice Chevalier, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd...

The only thing this has in common with George Herriman's original Krazy Kat is the name. It doesn't even LOOK like Krazy! After Herriman sold the rights for the purposes of creating animated cartoons of Krazy, he had nothing more to do with Krazy & Ignatz.
The original comic strips had a very surreal, subversive edge, particularly in their social commentary. This was because Herriman was the first "colored" cartoonist in U.S. history, giving him a unique vantage point, & the need to lie low.
My God! It's been a long time since I've seen This"Columbia Pix"/"Charlie Mintz Krazy Kat"Movie cartoon.The last time that I watched this film was on"Merry Toons Circus"with Claude Kirchner and "Clownie"on WOR TV Ch.9 in NYC in the 1960's.
I wonder who owns Krazy Kat now?

Oh that poor Felix got covered in spaghetti, and someone played him like a harp. Heh heh heh.

Durante said at 5:15, "Am I mortified! Am I mortified!!!", 'TiCar'. That's was one of Jimmy's catchphrases at the time.

What exactly did the waiter said after Krazy grabbed his nose?

Krazy may look a little different from the strip but he still has a bow behind his neck which is probably his trademark.

Do you suppose the Looney Tunes character Porky Pig might have been influenced by the guy at 1:21?

@RetroRabFan Probably.

This is one of the livlier Krazy Kat pictures I've seen. Most weren't this good.
I remember a Krazy from my childhood with a bunch of Russian Bolsheviks throwing big, round black bombs. Now that's one I'd enjoy seeing again.

Do you mind if I use this in a Marx Brothers video I want to make? This is so great! :)

I always liked Kazy Kat best. Looking at it now I'd say that's where Steven Spielberg got his cue for Animaniacs.
