Thanks.

At the time, the movie house audience’s would have known all the caricatures.

I only knew half at most.

Walter Winchell, Louella Parsons, Martha Raye, Fats Waller etc...

But who was Ben Birdie and others?

Glad you enjoyed it! I did very much and wanted to share it. Bing Crosby and Deanna Durbin were 2 of my favorites, they dont make cartoons like that anymore unfortunately.

Imagine Deanna Durbin is one real name.
