Fast-talking manager Nettie (Ida James) helps legendary jazz bandleader Cab Calloway (Cab Calloway) land a steady gig at the exclusive Brass Hat Club. Upon hearing the good news, Calloway's untrusting girlfriend, Minnie (Jeni Le Gon), mistakenly assumes that he and Nettie are having an affair. As Calloway and his band prepare for their maiden performance at the Brass Hat, the vengeful Minnie asks Boss Mason (George Wiltshire) -- the thuggish owner of a competing club -- to put a hit on her man.
Due to weird file names, many of these are out of order, but most come from the 1940s. Many of the scans are poor, but I did what I could do.

Hey kids (of all ages), it's Saturday Morning Cartoon time again! Hallowe'en-style!!!
When Paramount took-over the pioneering Fleischer animation outfit and rebranded it Famous Studio, they continued some of the popular characters created or produced under license by the former, and did some fairly successful knock-offs of existing characters. But they managed only one really successful original character of their own...
CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST was featured in highly formulaic, sugar-sweet cartoon shorts through the 1950s. The character was also featured in Harvey Comics publications. They bought him from Paramount in '59, along with the rights to all his '50s 'toons, which they released to TV. Then there were new series, feature films, direct-to-video releases, etc... Right through to today.
But before he got his own series, Casper was featured in three Noveltoons (Famous' blanket designation for one-shot shorts) from 1945 to 1949. These films are considerably darker than the later iterations of the character, with the disembodied dead child (we actually see his grave) suicidally bereft after his failed attempts to make friends.
I think it was Cliff Clavin who observed that every cartoon begins with lonely Casper trying to find friends, then ends with him having friends, only for him to be alone again at the start of the next episode... Did his undead, vampiric nature surface between 'toons, causing the demise of his companions?!

Hi class. Today I want to teach you about the history of "circuses." If you do not know, a "circus" was a form of mass entertainment. During the 20th century, millions of people visited and attended a "circus." What conclusion might you draw from this footage? Why were so many Americans attracted to this type of spectacle? Please respond in the comments below. Reminder: Assignment 1 is due Monday.
Circus footage and newsreel. Enjoy. Source: https://archive.org/details/0013_Circus_Day_in_Our_Town_13_16_36_00

When cholera takes the parents of Mary Lennox, she is shipped from India to England to live with her Uncle Craven. Archibald Craven's house is dark and drafty, with over 100 rooms built on the edge of the moors. Mary finds that her Uncle does not wish to see her, which is fine with Mary as she herself is rude and spoiled. While walking the gardens the next day, Mary notices that there is a area in the garden surrounded with a high stone wall and no doorway. Dickon, brother of a housemaid, tells her of the garden behind the wall. By the path, the raven unearths the hidden key so that Mary and Dickon are able to enter the walled garden to find it overgrown and neglected. Inside the house, she finds that Archibald has a son named Colin, who is crippled and as spoiled as she. Together these three work to make the secret garden their own world.

Unhappily married Scott Henderson spends the evening on a no-name basis with a hat-wearing woman he picked up in a bar. Returning home, he finds his wife strangled and becomes the prime suspect in her murder. Every effort to establish his alibi fails; oddly no one seems to remember seeing the phantom lady (or her hat). In prison, Scott gives up hope but his faithful secretary, "Kansas," doggedly follows evanescent clues through shadowy nocturnal streets. Can she save Scott in time?
