| The showboat comes to town, piloted by Captain Benny. A quartet sings "Go Into Your Dance" in honor of its originator, Al Jolson. They introduce the conductor, who is a pig caricature of orchestra leader Paul Whiteman. One of the musicians plugs the pig's tail into a light socket so he conducts at super speed. Then Captain Benny announces the start of the amateur hour, with an operatic cow and a tough guy reciting poetry with sound effects. | |

This was a decent early colour Friz Freleng cartoon that was an extra on my 'Annie Oakley' DVD from my Barbara Stanwyck TCM 4-pack. Not essential viewing by any stretch of the imagination, mind you, but definitely worth a watch. Most of it is about an amateur night talent show, a precursor of the co ... ntemporary 'Gong Show' that I watched as a child, back in the day. Worth investigating for the adventurous animation aficionados out there.
