Educational Films Corporation of America put this "one act comedy" animated short out, right in time to coincide with the beginning of Prohibition.....the exact beginning. Hence, you see a calendar early on with June 30th on it with a beer stein. Then, on July 1 it changes to a raspberry float. That's the theme of the film: a place advertising all these fruit drinks that are really alcoholic in content. You even seen an exaggerated gay guy go in, order a "fruit" drink and then change into some super-macho he-man!
It's an animated movie and well-done, fun to watch, except - as in the above case and perhaps a few more - it will offend some people. It all starts with the typical bully 200-pound woman chastising her little husband (Jiggs and Maggie types) who is lush. She show him a poster advertising an upcoming lecture at Sodapop Hall by Prof. Witherbones about "The Horrors Of Drink" and tells him to be there at 3 p.m.
It's across the street from the Sodapop Hall where we see all the action taking place, at Silk Hat Harry's "soda" shoppe. It's there we see a lot of sight gags of how these supposedly- innocent drinks affect the customers. I wonder if that is how the writers pictured Prohibition was going to be?
At any rate, it is very entertaining and worth a watch for both comedy and historical value. The title is a great play-on-words of a famous film that come out a couple of years earlier: "The Birth Of A Nation."
