Marcellite Garner was working in the ink and paint department when she auditioned to voice Minnie Mouse. Because Minnie would be playing a Mexican in this short, it came down to her and one other woman, the only two applicants who spoke Spanish. Garner got the part because she was also willing to sing, which the other auditioner was not. She went on to voice Minnie for over a decade before leaving the studio permanently.
First short in which Marcellite Garner provides the voice for Minnie Mouse. She was the first "official" voice for the character, and is widely credited with helping to define the character's personality.
"The Cactus Kid" from 1930 is the last Disney and Mickey Mouse Cartoon to be animated by Ub Iwerks, before he left the Studio.
