On this week's program, we'll start with a 1937 Hugh Harman-Rudolf Ising cartoon released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, "Swing Wedding." In this one, such top personalities as Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Ethel Waters, Stepin' Fetchit, and the Boswell Sisters are caricatured as frogs. The bullfrogs hold a jam session for Minnie the Moocher's wedding day. Uncredited personnel include Jack Caldwell, Hugh Harman,and William Hanna on story; Thomas McKimson and Larry Martin, animation; The Four Blackbirds, voice characterizations; Scott Bradley, music.
