Sad, even with a primitive sound, it would have been more amusing. I can't concentrate on completely silent films, even if they are made by D. W. Griffith!

Oriignally released in January 1937 (directed by Mannie Davis and George Gordon) as a theatrical sound film; this is the 1947 silent [w/intertitles] 16mm "home movie" reissue from Castle Films [they had the rights to release Paul Terry's cartoon library of the '30s for "home audiences"], later issued in the 8mm format, as well as 16mm sound.

Made in the tweenst years (silent/talkies: 1924-30) - pointless story, but impressive animation for the time.

This is a sound cartoon, I saw this as a kid on channel 8 connecticut, which you could pick up in New York. Around oh 1964-1965.

[ubuibiok]

each show was released with Piano sheet for a person to play the music .... the original film was video only

[deluxecat13]

Has sound ever been added to this video?

[L1V2P9]

The year on the last frame is MCMXLVII. I take that to be 1947.

Absolutely splendid.
