Storyline

This Columbia short (production number 3860) finds Staub doing an early-day golly-gee whiz-swell version of Larry King (but with more class and less boot-licking)over Cecil B. DeMille as they look at old film clips which do little to prove the assertion that DeMille was a Great Director. DeMille mainly shows up to plug his upcoming "The Greatest Show On Earth"...which wasn't.
