A Few Moments with Eddie Cantor also known as A Few Moments with Eddie Cantor, Star of "Kid Boots" is an early sound film made in Lee De Forest's sound-on-film Phonofilm process[1] in late 1923[2] or early 1924[3] starring Eddie Cantor in an excerpt from the Broadway show Kid Boots. Some sources say the film premiered[citation needed] along with other De Forest phonofilms at the Rivoli Theater in New York City on April 15, 1923.[4] However, Kid Boots opened on Broadway somewhat later, on December 31, 1923.[5]
It contains two songs: "The Dumber They Are, the Better I Like 'Em," and "Oh, Gee, Georgie."[6] The rest of the recorded material would be considered standup comedy.[7] In all, the recording is nearly seven minutes long.[8][9]
The music was orchestrated by George Olsen.[10]
