Joseph Henabery who, along with Roy Mack, kept up the production of short subjects at the old Vitagraph studios in Brooklyn through the 1930s, here presents a talent show of little kids, none of whom seem to have been in anything except this short. The whole show is structured as "Major Bones' Amateur Hour", a joke based on the then-popular Major Bowes show on radio, which presented some real talent in nascent form.
There is plenty of singing and dancing, including a rather elaborate tap chorus. The whole effect is pretty cute. The dancing includes an emphasis on tap and a gymnastic act. It's not great movie-making, but must have been a pleasant little one-reeler hidden among the short subjects of a show.
