Imaginative use of a victrola in a Betty Boop cartoon

Post by jboger »

Betty is the clerk in a new hotel and is beset with all sorts of complaints--legitimate ones like no hot water. Grandpa comes to the rescue and saves the day. He uses a victola to iron clothes. Watch the whole thing or go straight to 5:34 to see the contraption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfyemX_dAZc

There's an earlier one, "Minnie the Moocher", where Betty's papa is ranting at her; his head turns into a cylinder phonograph, and Mama literally "changes the record"... :lol:
