DESCRIPTION:
Early sound film of comedian Eddie Cantor, using Lee De Forest's "Phonofilm" invention.
Cantor went on to become the highest paid comedian of the 1930s, making several hit movies for Samuel Goldwyn (Whoopee, Palmy Days, Roman Scandals, The Kid from Spain, Kid Millions, Strike Me Pink) but was primarily a radio comedian. Today largely forgotten, unlike the Marx Brothers or Buster Keaton, but one of the biggest names in comedy in his day.
