Sockefeller; Poor Man... John Dough; Begger Man... Kismet; Thief... Oph Bagdad; Doctor... Jekyll; Lawyer... Ima Shyster (the last five names then repeat endlessly).
- GoofsThe baby duck pushes the lever that changes the speed of the film. The lever is shown angled forward to the higher speed setting. Yet when shown later the lever is angled back towards the slower setting even though the film is still playing at high speed.

Let's Be Honest: This Is A Lame Cartoon
It's a night at the movies and the first thing we see is a game of "musical chairs" in the packed movie theater. (Did people move seats a lot back in the '30s?)
Then, the "Warmer Brothers Presents Goofy-Tune News" begins the evening's entertainment on screen. It starts with a takeoff on Lowell Thomas with "Dole Promise" giving the latest news of the day. Eddie Cantor is then parodied. Also, the filmmakers make light of the problem of sitting in the front row, of heavy people getting out of their seats and squeezing in front of people as they head to the aisle.
Returning to the news, the feature story is about a town (Boondoggle) that is literally going to the dogs. Mostly we hears puns regarding the word "dogs" and expressions of the day that used the word "dog." By now, 70 years later, they aren't funny, just very corny.
The second half of this 8.4-minute cartoon is pre-feature movie provided by "Stickoutski At The Fertilizer" another cornball play-on-words for a famous conductor at the Wurlizter organ. Finally, the film begins: "The Petrified Florist," another takeoff, of course, but we only see a little bit of that because a little duck goes up in the projection room (there is no projectionist?) and ruins things.
Almost all this cartoon is lame, sad to say. There is nothing funny in here. The only positive thing about it is the tremendous restoration job done on it. The colors and sharpness are amazing, as are most of the 'toons on these Golden Collection DVDs.
