Aside from his debut in The Wise Little Hen (1934), this is the only appearance of Donald Duck in a Silly Symphony cartoon.
Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Charles Laughton, the Marx Brothers, Joe Penner, W. C. Fields, Charlie McCarthy, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Edward G. Robinson, Greta Garbo, Eddie Cantor, Cab Calloway, Joe E. Brown and Judy Canova are among the 1930's personalities appearing in this cartoon.
This 7 minute long short film remains controversial today because of its stereotypical depiction of African American entertainers. However,
Animation critic Charles Solomon noted in his book, "Enchanted Drawings: History of Animation", that the caricatures of Fats Waller and Cab Calloway don't poke fun at their race and are treated just as good or bad like the other caricatured celebrities spoofed in this cartoon.
