CARTOONS
T94 70 Sock-a-Bye Baby. (I Reel). When Popeye takes his offspring
out for an airing everyone conspires to wake the slumbering babe. Musicians at practice, the radio station Y.A.P., a giant liner sounding its siren and steel erectors hammering away are all silenced in Popeye's own style. Even the terrific hooting of a traffic block fails to wake the infant. But the mere ping of a safety-pin dropping to the ground brings the sleeper to screaming life.
T94 71 Seasin's Greetinks. (1 Reel). Betwixt Popeye and the Big
Bloke there is rivalry where Olive Oyl is concerned. When Popeye takes Olive for a lesson in skating, his rival gets up to a few tricks of his own, calling for all the sailorman's ingenuity to bring his beloved out of harm's way.
T9472 Blow Me Down. (1 Reel). When Popeye wanders into a Mexi
can village to visit Olive Oyl his pleasure is spoiled by Bluto the Bandit, who comes to shoot-up the cafe. It takes not a little courage and a lot of spinach for Popeye to prove his prowess in markmanship and mastery of Bluto to whom he finally administers a knockout, carrying the big fellow right round the world.
T94 73 I Yam What I Yam. (I Reel). While Popeye and Olive Oyl are
on an island Indian warriors plan to make their stay uncomfortable. When Popeye is exploring the interior of the isle, some of the braves are surrounding a shack built in the sailor's devastating style. His highly amusing wanderings over, Popeye returns to the homestead and quickly settles accounts with the invaders, finally crowning himself "Big Cheese".
T94 74 I Eats My Spinach. (I Reel). Spain's national sport is of great
appeal to Popeye. While he is outdoing the performance of a real matador, the bull-fighter is carrying off Olive Oyl. Soon bull and Popeye are careering after captor and captive and all ends well with Popeye in possession of a well-stocked butchers shop.
T9475 Wild Elephinks. (1 Reel). As Popeye is presenting his visiting
card to the local reception committee an outsize elephant
another inhabitant of the island is seizing Olive Oyl and carrying her off into the jungle. Little things like that do not worry
Popeye when he has had his spinach. He doles out punishment to offenders and a brand new wardrobe of fur coats to his beloved.
T9476 Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. (I Reel). The lively tune
fitted to action provides you with a cartoon that could not be more amusing nor more whimsical. To the strains of the evergreen melody Betty Boop is delivered to the Toy Shop, there to be crowned Queen. Only one toy disagrees and plans to steal her away in the middle of the coronation. As Betty is being carried off, the wooden soldiers come to her succour. After the battle-royal many toys go to the second-hand shelves. Rubinoff and his orchestra provide the musical interpretation.
T94 7 7 Old Man of the Mountains. (1 Reel). Cab Calloway, leader of
a world-famous orchestra, and Max Fleischer have combined to offer you a remarkably fine rendering and setting of a song which tells of the old rascal who is held in terror by villagers and of Betty Boop's bearding of the Old Man in his den. (Not recommended for exhibition to children).
