This is the earliest talking film I've ever seen. I've been a fan of Cantor for years and do indeed enjoy this film. Although a far cry from later talking pictures, it did present clear example in 1924 that talking pictures were just around the corner. Although somewhat crude, it does manage to entertain me and I'm sure much more so to the audiences 80 years ago. I think it should be presented more often today as a real pioneering film. Since he's not wearing his usual blackface, it shouldn't be too much of a problem these days to those of who who carry a chip on their shoulders about blackface acts. Other than Edison attempts of synchronizing recordings on wax cylinders to motion pictures & Max Fleischer's partnership w/ Dr. Lee DeForest presenting some talking cartoons, this has to be a first. Watch it if you can, it's real history.
