Uncommon silent movie show filler lantern slide with snappy quip that would be used before or after a show or during an intermission to engage and entertain the audience. With a somewhat depression era bent and completely politically incorrect, it reads, “Why does the Chinese language look like music and sound so much different?------------Would it save daylight if they made the holes in Swiss cheese bigger......”
