(Caution: Do not read any further if you weep easily)
Swing Symphony: "The Greatest Man in Siam"
(Walter Lantz)
(unfortunately with a large chunk missing in the middle, where WFUT's signal cut to black for reasons best left unknown)
George Pal Puppetoons:
"John Henry" (Paramount)
(the only complete and watchable short of the day)
Flip the Frog:
"The Cuckoo Murder Case" (Ub Iwerks)
(or, "The Case of the Vanishing Print" ... this one was nearly pure white about two-thirds of the time, making it the perfect polar opposite of the Lantz short butchered earlier)
(The moral of the story: No copies today!)
(heavy sigh)
