Radio Show

A couple of hayseeds in the city find themselves in aradio studio listening to a series of musical acts.

It's a fairly standard sort of short from the period, an assortment of acts with some sort of structure to fit them all into. However, despite the variety of musical styles on offer, it's people sitting at pianos playing, or standing in front of a microphone singing. There's little visual interest in this one

Even so, it has some value in preserving some of the acts that were not major hed liners and which we would be unawre f without this.

Mostly a lot of third-rate musical acts and not much story.

When "Eggs Mark the Spot" begins, it appears as if this Vitaphone short will have a plot involving a couple rubes joining the audiences at some radio shows. However, soon this plot just vanishes and nearly all the rest of the film involves showing various radio performers who aren't particularly famous and most are just not all that interesting. In fact, the film is pretty dull stuff...and quite unlike the typical Vitaphone production. Watch it if you want...or don't!

By the way, if you offend easily, don't watch this one as it features a white radio actress pretending to be a VERY stereotypical black woman.
