The shanty is full of toys. One tries to blow up a balloon and blows herself up instead—and turns into Kate Smith. “Hello, every-body!” was how Kate opened her radio show and that’s what the inflated toy says here.



Her version of Shine On Harvest Moon is interrupted by a couple of Scotch terriers, who give us Tony Wons’ radio catchphrase: “Are ya listenin’?”

Norm Blackburn and Ham Hamilton get the animation credits. The soundtrack includes Cuban Iceman, What a Nice Man, co-written by Joe Meyer, who also co-penned California, Here I Come and A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich and You, well-known to any lover of Warners cartoons.
