Sadly, I haven’t found a copy of this short talkie from Columbia. It may have time travel, but I think it’s unlikely because the hero is transported to a land of kings and queens and fair maidens, which from its description, seems like a fantasyland more than a point in our timeline.

Indexer Notes

(2)
  1. The IMDb lists only Arthur Hurley as the writer, but they also indicate “scenario” with his name. Perhaps this is just an early name for the writer of the shooting script.
  2. According to IMDb, the soundtrack included “Here We Are,” which was also sung earlier by Annette Hanshaw for the 1929 animated film, Sita Sings the Blues.
