Good night ladies, Good night ladies, Good night ladies, We're going to leave you now. Merrily we roll a long, Roll a long, Roll a long. Merrily we roll a long, Orer the deep blue sea. Good night ladies, Good night ladies, Good night ladies, We're going to leave you now. Now why can't they write lyrics like that today.... Loved seeing that 'Western Electric Sound System, The Voice in Action' cartoon. Sound Pictures at their best. Sad thing is I've actually had my hands on a complete system.... Now I feel very old and certainly not merrily rolling on  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-19-2003 08:41 PM                       Wonderful early animation! I have a W/E sign, just like the one seen at the end of that film! They put them on booth doors.  |  IP: Logged
