For those who remember Peter and his wife Mary Healy, it's interesting to see Peter so young and performing with his mother. The acts in this short are very strange. The black face number has big pictures on the curtain of blacks eating watermelon slices and the song is about a wandering husband on old man river--nothing complementary. There is a novelty tap dance number that features a long string of cigarettes produced by the fellow to a song about smoking lovers. And the act with Peter and his mother is no less odd. I have trouble describing it so see for yourself. I guarantee it's unique. His mother has a lovely voice but doesn't act to the same standard. Peter's talents on display are comedic rather than musical. The plot was really just to string the musical acts together. On the whole, this is one of the more eccentric shorts I've ever seen. In many ways, I found it unpleasant and hard to watch but I'm glad I stuck with it to the end.
