Quiz
The trapeze acrobats, "The Flying Cordonas" were all long dead when this short was made. Alfredo fatally shot his ex-wife Vera and then committed suicide by shooting himself in July 1937. Lalo Codona was injured during a fall into the net at a performance at Madison Square Garden in April 1933 and was never able to perform again. Pete Smith probably didn't know their story, so this footage, which was at least 20 years old, was pulled from an archive.

Earning A Buck The Hard Way

A Smith Called Pete narrates this short about people who earn their livings in odd ways: guys who toss horse shoes ringers forty feet blindfolded over their wives' heads, acrobats who dangle from wobbly spires and the famous diving horse of Atlantic City's Steel Pier.

It's a clip show, bits and pieces from earlier Pete Smith specialties, including the acrobatic Cristianis. The Pete Smith specialties were a popular short subject from MG, but budgets had been cut, and the series would last onl a cople more years. Ree-editing older shorts was a way of producing a cheap "new" entry in the series.
