Here's another of the Famous Studios revival of the Fleischer Screen Songs. This one spotlights.the 1910 song "Let Me Call You Sweetheart"; this was a big hit the following year for the. Peerless Quartet under the leadership of Frank Burr, as I am so very sure you knew. What's that? You didn't? Well, neither did I before I did a little research of the song just now, and I'm sure we'll both forget.

The song is preceded by three minutes of labor-saving inventions, none of which anyone ever felt a need for. This is not the best of the gag sequences from the series.
