Here's a Technicolor short with four or five of Foster's tunes, and the old unexamined story of his life. His work was enormously popular, but there was nothing like a worthwhile copyright system in effect at the period. As a result there was little point in a music publisher paying him for his work/ Just buy a copy of the sheet music for whatever it cost, then print your own copy.
Like James A. Fitzpatrick's better remembered Traveltalks, this shows off some beautiful Technicolor. Anyone familiar with the Traveltalks will be surprised to learn that Fitzpatrick started producing sound shorts in 1925, but they were musical shorts It was only in 1930 that he began to be the Voice of the Globe and ruin some fine photography with his stolid, emphatic blathering.
