Gene Deitch, whose "Cat" cartoons satirized (and some say defined) jazz 
record collectors in "The Record Changer" magazine, is in the news. 
Apparently, in 1953, Deitch produced an animated short "Howdy Doody & 
his Magic Hat," whose negative was ordered destroyed by Buffalo Bob 
Smith. The short was Deitch's first directorial effort, but he hasn't 
seen it in 57 years. A print was discovered and it will be screened at 
the CineFamily Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles tomorrow evening. 
Deitch, now 85, is delighted by the discovery. He is living in Prague, 
Czechoslovakia, where he has lived since 1960.

Where is Czechoslovakia? His drawings adorned some of the later issues 
of Storyville magazine.
