Walt Disney is a real American legend, along with Leon Schlesinger and Chuck Jones. If they were still alive, animations would be 10 times as good as they are now.

Does anyone know if this is the original score for these shorts?

Michael Barrier describes this very film in 'Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in its Golden Age (OUP, 1999) (pp. 36-37):
'Disney appears as a "lightning sketch" artist, drawing commentaries on local events; there is a little animation only at the end, in a bit about a scandal in the Kansas City police department. Policemen walk in simple, identical cycles (only their heads differ), and as they're thrown out of the station house, they're cutouts of the kind Disney was familiar with.'

Wasn't it 1924-1925, not 1922, when the fad of girls rolling down their stockings hit? (See the old song "Roll 'em, Girls" which featured the line "Roll 'em girlies, roll 'em, roll your own" which is referenced in the cartoon.)

The animator depicted in the film is definitely a young (21 at the time) Walt Disney...and he obviously had some strong anti-corruption opinions in these early films which amount to animated editorial cartoons. Since those were the days of Boss Prendergast, he probably didn't make himself too many friends by depicting the KC police department as crooked and needing a wholesale "spring clean-up"....

It's amazing that although Laugh-O-Gram Studio went nowhere, several of the people who worked there would become animation legends. Disney and Iwerks created the Alice Comedies and later Oswald before become widely known for Mickey Mouse, Harman and Ising started the Looney Tunes, for which Freleng created characters for, including Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny. It's a shame that nowadays everything these guys did is forgotten, even by the companies that used to make a profit off of their work.

Nice to see Walt in the beginning. :) He was pretty young when he started the "Laugh-O-Grams. Unfortunately, I don't see Ub Iwerks.

Kinda bad quality. Was this filmed on a TV? It crops out a few inches all directions and I miss a lot of words.
Funny video though. Thanks, Crayshen!

Yeah, unfortunately most of this collection is VHS rips. It kinda varies.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it though.
