Summary:
The Talk of Hollywood: "Schlock-movie producer J. Pierpont Ginsburg, after declaring, in a Yiddish accent, that "talking pictures are in their infantry," decides to put all of his savings into a big-budgeted musical, starring the sensation of Paris (with a bad French accent), Adore Renee, and a swishy leading man, Reginald Whitlock. Meanwhile, his daughter, Judy Ginsburg, gets involved in a romance with Ginsburg's Gentile lawyer, John Applegate. His efforts aren't helped any by the projectionist who mixes up the sound-disc reels, with the images not matching the dialogue and sound effects, during a showing for prospective film buyers and exhibitors"-- IMDb.
Dinner time: "A small hungry dog tries to mooch some food from Farmer Al Falfa, who today is a butcher, busily chopping up large pieces of meat in front of his shop. The dog finally just resorts to outright theft, as well as a gang of other dogs, who run off with everything not bolted down. A dog catcher proves totally ineffectual, and the mutts he's already put into his wagon escape, and Al loses more of his goods"--IMDb.
