[78-L] 78-L Digest, Vol 75, Issue 24 Bert Ambrose on a George Pal Puppetoon

[Ate van Delden]

George Pal made them right here in Eindhoven during the Thirties. They were 
all for promotion of Philips products.
I have been trying to get the full George (actually Georg, he was from 
Hungary) Pal story and in particular I like to know where and how the sound 
(Ambrose' band) was recorded. Maybe Philips-Miller system? There is film 
with Jack Hylton and another with the (dutch) Ranblers too.
Pal went to the US and became famous for his special film effects.

> Hello everyone-
> Years ago - and I mean years ago - I would watch cartoons on the old 
> Philco.? Every now and then, a different type of cartoon would be shown.? 
> They were made from about 20 years prior to my birth and they were known 
> as George Pal's Puppetoons.? One of them was actually an advertisement for 
> Philips Radio.? It consisted of 3 vignettes, the first of which was of an 
> up-tempo dancer.? The part of the song I remembered was, "...and all the 
> sailors knew..." even if somewhat imperfectly.
> Well...It's almost 60 years later and I found the 
> cartoon...ummm...Puppetoon...ummm...video and I know the music is from the 
> Bert Ambrose Orchestra, "She Wore a Little Jacket of Blue" and I even know 
> the Catalog number:
> Decca 522
> Should be easy, correct?? After all, it was a very famous cartoon, a very 
> famous song, so it should be on some Compilation CD or in someone's mp3 
> collection or SOMETHING, yes?
> No.
> There are other versions of "She Wore a Little Jacket of Blue" but, as far 
> as I can tell, there are no complete versions of the song from the Ambrose 
> Orchestra.? The version used in the cartoon is a shortened version!? I 
> have found about 5 copies of Decca 522 held in various University 
> Libraries but that's it!? YIKES!
> Is there a complete Ambrose Orchestra version of this song somewhere?? 
> Anywhere?? Thank you for your time,
