At one time, my paternally-related family owned and operated 5 movie theaters on Galveston Island. My Uncle Sonny would bring old movies over to my maternal Grandparent's house where I lived, and the family would watch them on a decent-sized projector which my Grandfather had. This was one of the things I can easily recall seeing as a child in our living room.
There's a rare "TRACK & DISK" card at the end of this cartoon, and i think sometimes they were still using the sound-on-disc recording process until it got abandoned.
As soon as I saw this title I knew I had to get this tune down for mandolin. It gives so much more; they make a medley with “Everyone Says ‘I Love You’” - a piece I’ve played for years. Then there is Armida Vendrell with dark eyes, great gams, a voice,… this old guy just fell in love. And a monkey on a string! The animated segment covers the “Peanut Vendor’s Song” with my favorite instrument of that era, acoustic steel guitar playing snappy Latin! I missed this one until now - High on the list.
Thank God for cartoon starting those are like one of the best good job looking that one up I used to love those two the art everything now that should be a college subject back in the day thank you for whoever put that out I love that good old stuff
I think song when the zoo keeper is feeding the giraffe the song is from a Marx brothers movie . I think it’s called I love you . I for get what movie it’s from but I’ve heard it before .
Screen Song: The Peanut Vendor 2103pm 9.2.23 and this would be amazingly up to the minute hi tech entertainment when you were young, sir. it's cool by me as i like animation of such calibre. and, no, as much as they wanna get violent about it - hi tech isn't allus the best.
Ah, the zoos in the old days with the animals pacing back and forth...if it wasn't that most people were equally unhappy during the Depression I'd find it upsetting.
She is indeed! Discovered her in a 1929 film named Border Romance just browsing old movies on RU-vid. There are other movies of her as well. She's an adorable little hottie.
How fitting that she was born Aguascalientes. She had it all, and is my new ‘old guy crush’. Can you imagine totally closed borders and “A Day without a Mexican”? Her talented family has made us all better.
