Preface With the advent of ­sound-on-film in the mid- to late 1920s, makers of silent short subjects were very quick to realize sound’s potential and began experimenting, using shorts as a testing ground for the greater use of sound in feature movies. There had been various attempts to blend sound with film since the turn of the century but only when radio became popular in the 1920s did cinema audiences began to tire of silent films and movie producers began to wake up to the idea of the “talkies.” The term of “short subject” is used in this book to describe any film from one or two minutes in length up to about 45 minutes. Most of the more durable shorts were restricted to either 10 or 20 minutes. These were fillers in a “picture show” that would normally include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Popular topics for shorts were comedies, musical revues, jazz, nature, dramas, sports and travelogs. It was not always essential to carry a plot. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelog, an oddity or some current event often served as a ­well-received subject. Sports shorts, apart from football, basketball and baseball films, offered lessons in golf and archery. Swimming was fashionable and even such quirky oddities as donkey baseball. The early sound would be initially recorded separately on a disc that would be played on a machine in synchronization with the actions on the screen, although this primitive method of recording understandably had its problems. The disc method was soon abandoned in favor of the new ­sound-on-film system which had vastly improved by the time Vitaphone opened its recording facilities in a disused Manhattan opera house. Vitaphone chose to use a process perfected by Western Electric, to which it owned an exclusive license. But difficulties arose with the microphone picking up every individual extra noise, including the noise of the camera running, pressing the studio to build a soundproof booth to house the camera to keep it as quiet as possible. Not only did these early efforts experiment with sound, but studios also had a go at using primitive forms of color systems. Earlier silent films had tried employing color but it was usually painstaking ­hand-colored with inks, ­frame-by-frame. The new process was normally a ­two-color (red and blue)

system, often by Technicolor, which didn’t cheer up until the early 1930s when ­three-color Technicolor arrived with the added spectrum of yellow. Most of the ­shorts-makers, however, found it cheaper to stick to monochrome. Early experimental sound shorts were heavily reliant on popular vaudeville acts—many of them already being obscure, forgotten or dismissed. This not only brought the performers to a wider audience but also cut the cinema proprietors’ costs as they had often employed a live act to entertain the audience before a film show. Although over the years the shorts have proven to be a decent source of preserving the performers’ act for prosperity, these recordings would often actually be the swan song of the comic, acrobat, banjo player or singer. Many had been staging the same act successfully around the halls for decades without much alteration. With the advent of sound shorts, of course, the performers weren’t needed in person because a film of the act could be shown for a fraction of the cost. Many early shorts, attempting to bring culture to the masses, also featured opera singers presenting excerpts from chosen operas. It is not recorded how well these were received, but one could imagine that the novelty would soon wear thin with yet another rendering of Avé Maria. These initial shorts featuring vaudeville acts or singers were simple to make as there was just the one camera which was trained on the performer who did an act that he knew backwards and forwards and often did his “other” act for a second film. This could all probably be concluded in one day ... no problem! When the 1930s arrived, audiences were weary of opera and vaudeville, so something with a bit more substance was needed. This was a cue for the ­two-reel comedy to come to the fore, and these shorts featured the likes of Laurel and Hardy, Charley Chase, Our Gang, the Three Stooges, Andy Clyde, Edgar Kennedy and other ­top-notch ­laughter-makers. Each studio had its own favorites with the public: MGM with Laurel and Hardy, Charley Chase, Pete Smith novelties and FitzPatrick TravelTalks; Columbia with the Three Stooges, Andy Clyde and Hugh Herbert; Warner Bros. with Joe McDoaks; RKO with Edgar Kennedy and Leon Errol; and Paramount’s “Sportlights.”

Preface The early years of sound also brought forth the notion in some studios that “if we’re going to sell these films abroad, they’ve got to be in the right language,” giving rise to the likes of Laurel and Hardy and others making more than one version of the same movie: one in English, one in French and another in Spanish or German and so on. The actors, not being fluent in the languages, were instructed to say their lines phonetically, and occasionally an actor replaced the supporting players and spoke in the native tongue to help speed matters along. This process only lasted for only a couple of years until the futility of it all (or subtitles) was realized. Hal Roach’s studio was once top of the mountain in popularity with his star turns, but even Roach, as an independent producer, had to submit to no longer being able to afford to make ­two-reel shorts and shifted his star players, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, into feature films, later selling off the rights of his Our Gang series to his distributor, MGM. By the mid–1930s, once the cost of producing ­two-reelers had put comedy king Mack Sennett out of business, the production of shorts moved into the hands of the studios: Vitaphone, Columbia, MGM and others. The only independent producer who still appeared to prosper was James FitzPatrick, who had been touring the world and putting out his travelogues since the early ’30s, lasting over 20 years. During the Second World War, a number of public information shorts were issued by the government and featured various subjects such as “hoarding” and “careless talk” along with positive reports on how the armed forces were doing overseas. These shorts would often feature those actors who had joined the services, in the hopes that audiences would pay more attention to what their favorite stars were saying. At the same time, the comedians also joined the crowd, even to the extent of the Stooges receiving their ­call-up papers and going to fight the enemy. By the end of the war, because of spiraling costs of producing shorts, producers eased up on the production. Television also intervened and was beginning to coax people away from the movie theaters, so it was the order of the day to entice them back again, away from their homes and television sets. This was the cue for ­3-D to make an appearance. Although ­3-D was very much a ­short-lived fad, at least each studio made an attempt and a few shorts along with short cartoons were filmed before it was discovered that this process was far too

2 costly to continue ... and that the audiences really weren’t all that interested. Yet another attempt to bring audiences back was the ­stretched-screen effects of CinemaScope and VistaVision. This worked well enough for feature films but was not all that effective for shorts, most of which were still being produced on a shoestring budget and still in black and white. This method was used primarily on travelogues as it wouldn’t have made that much improvement to the Three Stooges or Andy Clyde’s antics. Television continued to take over, and soon a backlog of old movie shorts and cartoons were sold off to television in the 1950s, driving people further away from the cinemas. Neither CinemaScope nor the even wider Cinerama screen could help the situation, and the short subjects became far too expensive to produce for whatever returns they were receiving. So short subjects disappeared from the screens by the end of the 1950s. I began this project in 2000 as a test to find out just how far I could get with it. After a few years, I discovered it had overtaken me and it was too late to go back! So I carried on, finding more and more obscure items that were shown on American cinema screens. Good or ­not-so-good, they all deserve a mention, and I hope that I’ve included anything and everything! Research sources, as well as many viewings over the years, were helpful books and trade papers. They include The Great Movie Shorts: Those Wonderful One- and ­Two-Reelers of the Thirties and Forties by Leonard Maltin (Bonanza, 1972); The First Hollywood Sound Shorts, 1926–1931 (McFarland, 2005) and Mack Sennett’s Fun Factory (McFarland, 2005), both by Edwin M. Bradley; Vitaphone Films: A Catalogue of the Features and Shorts by Roy Liebman (McFarland, 2003); Film Daily; Motion Picture Daily; copyright catalogs; home movie catalogs; and the Internet Movie Data Base; along with many more trade magazines and books that have eluded my memory.
