In the trivia section of this title entry, IMDb mentions that the UK version of this short has a different cast than the one listed here. It's possibly the UK one I just watched on the "Industrial Strength Keaton" DVD collection. It has-besides the other version's host Robert Woolsey and Keaton-Gwen Lee, Lew Cody, Cliff Edwards ("alias Ukelele Ike" says Woolsey), and Raquel Torres. Nothing funny until Buster says a line to Raquel about a lion and then we see what happens when the caged animal roars. Edwards-best known as the voice of Jimminy Cricket on Walt Disney's Pinocchio-plays his instrument and sings in a falsetto to that lion. And Lee and Cody comment on their previous animal pictures. Like I said, nothing special but worth a look for Keaton enthusiasts.

Two Keaton Promos

Voice of Hollywood No. 10, The (1930)
** (out of 4)
Apparently in the UK promotional shorts were made to remind the movie going public to go and check out a certain star who was making films in the UK. In this short, it's Buster Keaton playing a small gag, which is pretty funny and shows some of his quickness on his feet. Nothing special but interesting to Keaton fans.
Hollywood on Parade No. A-6 (1932)
** (out of 4)
Paramount promotional film once again features Buster Keaton and like the above title, there's nothing special here but just a curiosity to fans.
