Synopsis: Let's put on a show and scare everyone away with bad performers!














Comments: Jarring level of movement on the opening shot of the riverboat. Black face singers (actually brown, so I think they're supposed to be actual African Americans, not white minstrels). Diagonal wipe. Yet another theater. Peg leg Captain Benny. A bell based amateur night removal. A recitation that sounds like it's by Shoreleave. Stuttering dog singing the title song; so Porky wasn't alone. If no one ever put on a show again, it would be too soon.
