The first live-action three-strip production, excluding films made for test purposes, was a short subject filmed at the World's Fair in Chicago in October 1933, not this short, which was released in 1934. Prior to three strip Technicolor, only the colors red and green and combinations of those two colors could be shown. Thus this musical comedy short has dancing girls with bright purple shirts to show off the new capabilities.
