Sockefeller; Poor Man... John Dough; Begger Man... Kismet; Thief... Oph Bagdad; Doctor... Jekyll; Lawyer... Ima Shyster (the last five names then repeat endlessly).
- GoofsThe baby duck pushes the lever that changes the speed of the film. The lever is shown angled forward to the higher speed setting. Yet when shown later the lever is angled back towards the slower setting even though the film is still playing at high speed.

Featured review
Enjoying the movie theater experience circa 1937.
The title, "She Was an Acrobat's Daughter", is an odd one as there's nothing in this Looney Tunes cartoon about acrobats. I think the song you hear during the short is of this same name...but no acrobats were harmed during the making of this film.
There really isn't much plot to this cartoon. Instead, it's set in a movie theater of the day and it pokes fun of the various short subjects patron saw during the day. You see a Lowell Thomas newsreel, a sing-a-long, a clip of the hit Warner Brothers film "The Petrified Forest" and more. And, you see a bratty duck and other funny patrons.
Since this cartoon is so unique, in vivid color and is pretty clever, I score this one a 7.
