    Trained Animals

    Songwriter/radio personality Frank Crumit narrates this one-reel short showing how a wide variety of animals can be trained, showing that they have a real intelligence.

    The trained animals include a crow, a penguin, and a lion, all crowd-pleasers, and all quite capable of managing civilization at least as well as people who wind up on the news every day. It's the sort of short subjects that used to be produced in vast quantities and used to fill out a film program.
