Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Porky Pig rents a theater to show some of his own hand-made animated cartoons. Drawn in stick-figure style, these featurettes include a colorful circus parade (replete with sanitation worker), a horse race at Santa Anita, and a saucy hula-hula dancer. Alas, it turns out that the only audience member willing to sit through the whole show is a skunk with but "one scent" to his name. Most current prints of this cartoon are missing two key gags: one involving a Mexican hat-dancer, the other featuring a blackfaced Al Jolson caricature performing "September in the Rain".
