The Fleischers released four Screen Songs in 1938 and then shut down production of them. THis was the first one that came out, and it's fairly standard: three minutes of cartoon gags, , four minutes of Jerry Blaine's orchestra performing a rather soapy version of a sentimental song, then one last cartoon gag. As always, Dave Fleischer was credited as director. In effect, he was the line producer and hed animator Roland crandall did the directing, as he had for much of the decade.
Although people of the Scree Songs that people get to see are from the early 1930s, in fact they had been producing them since 1924; yes, sound cartoons, distributed to the Red Seal chain co-owned by the Fleischers, Lee Deforest and. A couple of other partners. They were equipped with DeForest's early sound system, which explains Deforest's and the Fleischers' stakes.
