Just watched this Max Fleischer Screen Song cartoon on YouTube. Like many others made during this time, this has a spoof of the newsreels that came before the features. Also, the musical acts were Big Band orchestras with a singer, usually female. The newsreel here is titled "The Snoop Reel News Hound"-which has a hound with a movie camera on his back sniffing as he walks on a spinning globe-with the slogan "Nose Everything". Among the items: A car which literally separates the driver from his nagging wife in the back though still connected by some unfolding gadget, a woman with a real beehive on her head which when opened scares any man getting fresh with her, and a thing which keeps a man from falling through a window to his death while sleepwalking with the second time putting a safe on his body. Then Henry King and His Orchestra come on with Barbara Blake singing this short's title song before she leaves and King motioning us-the audience-to now warble the words as they appear on screen (but, like in many of these latter-day Fleischer efforts, doesn't say, "Follow the Bouncing Ball"). Then one more gag about "killing two features on one screen" closes this short but I don't feel like revealing any more about that. So on that note, Please Keep Me in Your Dreams is worth seeing.
