The debut performance of Donald Duck in Silly Symphony Number Thirteen had’em rolling in the isles, to be sure – and if you don’t think so, here’s proof from STAGE MAGAZINE’s Helen G. Thompson:
“If you didn’t see him in “The Orphan’s Benefit”, you missed the performance of the generation. Like Bergner’s show, it ran for for Donald the whole gamut of his emotions. Voted the toughest duck of the season, Long Island included, and now crashing Europe, a breathless American public awaits his acclaim. Will his fare be raspberries or chuckle berries? Donald says whatever the decision, he’ll fight.”
