Quotes:
George Jessel:Then I came across the idea of taking talking pictures of the natives. The natives are indeed a remarkable people. You see they live on chocolate ice cream and old umbrellas. Hmmm, you see, they toast the ice cream and they fry the umbrella, and it evidently makes a very wonderful dish.See more »

Ludicrous Short Subject, 1 April 2011
Author: bkoganbing from Buffalo, New York

George Jessel is one old time performer I'm not a big fan of. But even his fans will be disappointed in this Vitaphone short subject from Warner Brothers that shows not one bit of his talent.

He makes a few wisecracks while introducing this Russian Choir that he allegedly brought back from the Soviet Union. They sing a few numbers, the last one being a Negro Spiritual. Talking about disconnect.

Jessel does make one cutting remark about these wonderful Cossacks who back in the old days shot an uncle of his. But all it does is underscore the complete ludicrousness of this short.

Only for the curious fans of George Jessel.
