The Betty Boop in Snow White cartoon I posted yesterday featured the famous version of St. James Infirmary by the wonderful Cab Calloway. Here is another excellent recording of that jazz standard (with the alternate title of Gambler’s Blues) by the obscure group “The Hokum Boys,” courtesy of the excellent site juneberry78s.com.

Another one of the Fleischer Brothers’ best cartoons… this one is their (pre-Disney) version of Snow White. It doesn’t follow the Snow White story closely at all… not that the Disney one does either… but in this one the story is a largely ignored framework on which to build some cartoon craziness… sure, there are some dwarfs in there for about fifteen seconds, a witch and a magic mirror… there’s also a dragon with three duck heads on it’s head. The highlight is when Koko the Clown is transformed into an eerie spectre singing and dancing Cab Calloway’s St. James Infirmary… it may just be me, but besides being funny, I find this scene genuinely chilling as well… it makes the hair stand up on my neck. Stare in the face of your own mortality in the empty eyes of Koko the Clown…
