Pallet 43 - 20271 -8 minutes, Kodak Positive^^Musical short in log cabin; guys dressed as lumberjacks sing various songs. Lead singer is either Sid Garrett or Sid Gary; he and the boys sing "Timber." It's a love song to the trees, very similar in sound and tone to "Old Man River." (Sound of group is very kind of black, spiritual southern, even though group is white.)^^2:08 Funny comedy gag with novelty member of group, a la 3 Stooges^3:33 Paulette (or Arlette) enters; she does a tap routine^6:00 Sid and group sing "On a little Dream Ranch with You"^7:51 Novelty singer makes fun of group's sound/appeal.
