After drawing a couple of cartoons for his one-man audience, Robert Ripley takes him down to the projection room, where he shows off a church made of hay, a 138-year-old mother paddling her centenarian daughter, and a four-legged duck.
It's from the second series of shorts that Ripley made for Warner Brothers. He had begun as a sports cartoonist, but his series of odd facts spawned a long-lasting empire, which is still with us in a newspaper series, and in Odditoriums, in which strange things are exhibited. Not that Ripley is in charge any more. He died in 1949 at the age of 59.
I don't believe the old ladies were really that old.
