Typical of the Era

These early cartoons were long on sound and short on animation. This must have been a popular jazz piece. The solo musicians are fine but the plot is tepid. And all those characters came to see the act while that idiot little pig goes about trying to sabotage everything. There are hundreds of these old cartoons around and they are all about the same.
