Gorilla Out-Dances Human Female Partner

THE GORILLA (1927) still by gorillamen.com

Before there was Dancing With The Stars, there was dancing with the Gorillas, circa 1927, produced by the ever cost conscious micro-media-mogul, Van Smith.

The micro studio, operating a stone's through Mack Sennett's tri-angle shaped studio in Los Angeles's Hyperion Valley, cranked out fifty-two 12 second film clips a day. Enough for a weekly release for the following year.

Audiences around the country looked forward to 12 seconds of madness each week.

Here's to Van Smith, Micro-Media-Moguls everywhere, and you!
