'Hyperbolic'...prone to extreme exaggerations.

My guess is that this plot was heavily influenced by the novelty of sound movies. "The Lion's Roar" is a very, very early all talking short film....one of the first not made by Vitaphone. Because of the newness of sound in movies, the filmmakers really go overboard in this one and exaggerate sound to a ridiculous level.

The film opens in the big city and Clarence (Johnny Burke) is overwhelmed with all the noise. Frankly, no city is THAT loud and you can't help but wonder if audiences in the day believed cities were that loud! Anyway, to get away from the noise, he heads out to the country...and, not surprisingly, it's very loud and annoying in its own way. To top it off, there's a lion loose!!!

So is it worth seeing? Not particularly...though it's not bad either. My feeling is that it's a decent time-passer for lovers of old films and not much more.
