Funny Dave Fleisher cartoon and the voice of Jack Mercer as Grampy who in this cartoon appeared for the first and only time without Betty Boop. It went down so well we watched it twice.

Hello Vidar. I'm out projecting another Christmas show again tonight so will take some pictures.

Keep well my friend.

Funny this. Reading this post sounds like someone we all know.

Was out projecting another Christmas show so rushed to the front to grab a couple of snaps. Sorry the pictures are not that great but you'll get an idea as did Grampy.

Its a interesting cartoon with some nice technical points of interest. The opening scene is a good example of a horizontal camera and a turntable rotation for background movement generating a sort of 3D effect.

The Elmo having a break after the show.

Fabulous festive photos there, they should be in the Christmas screening section!
