COMES THE REVOLUTION!

Genre: Soundie

Year Published: 1941

Creator: Soundies Distribution Corporation of America

Description: This short film "Comes the Revolution" dates to 1941. Here, an Eastern European immigrant and soapbox rabble-rouser (Willie Howard) contends with an unruly audience of one (Al Kelly). In a faux accent, Willie exhorts "the workers" to "throw off the yoke of oppression" while his heckler interrupts him. It's essentially a brief vaudeville routine captured for posterity. The star of this was "Borscht-Belt" actor Willie Howard, a noted "dialect" comic whose accent would have been familiar to a generation of Americans who came from Poland, Germany, Russia or Eastern Europe. In short, the routine was targeted primarily at urban Jewish audiences. Howard was fairly well known in Hollywood, appearing in The Smart Way (1937), How to Go to a French Restaurant (1941) and Playboy Number One (1937).
