Tex Avery's first known film is quite surreally funny.
25 July 2011
Tex Avery's first known film (credited as lead animator, but some think he may have directed too).

Funny send up of a night at a vaudeville show, full of Avery's trademark surreal images.

Best bits – man asks woman to remover her hat so he can see, only to be lost behind her giant afro, an acrobat goes through the wall of the theater leaving a very Magritte like silhouette, a seemingly skinny performer has her corset burst, and balloons to huge proportions. A steam shovel comes out on stage to remove her and collapses in exhaustion.

The was available to see on YouTube.
