Vitaphone must have really enjoyed Earl Burtnett because they made four shorts together in 1928 and this here was the first.

This short was the fourth of four that Earl Burtnett would make at Vitaphone in 1928. As with the previous ones, this here features three songs by Burtnett and his ten-man orchestra.
