- AKA: Dental Follies (United States of America)
- Plot: Dental Follies is short on plot as it really is more of a showcase of contemporary singing, dancing, and comedy talent than an actual story. As competing dentists advertise different attractions to get customers, Pinky Lee wins the customers with the promise of a floor show so great that patients will feel no pain because of their fascination with the show. What we see are quick performances by talented singers and dancers typical of the 1930's. No performer is shown for too long, thus providing a succinct segment of entertainment that does not wear out its welcome. Pinky Lee himself is never truly dominant once his character is introduced, but his antics move the scenes forward. This short was well edited because it never drags or leaves the viewer waiting. Instead we are moved through the dentist's office quickly and laughing the entire time.
