Jefferson Machamer

Another of the series of Educational Pictures' comedy shorts headlining comic strip artist Jefferson Machamer. He joins a correspondence school to study drawing and sets up his desk in the post office where he can get his mail quickly. He has a section of private letter-boxes, and, as he opens each one, the artists models are seen there representing the various lessons.

The first of the series of shorts, featuring magazine-and advertising illustrator and syndicated cartoonist Jefferson Machamer, produced by Educational Pictures, for 20th Century Fox distribution, as Educational Pictures did not operate exchanges of their own. The title for this initial entry was taken from his longest-running strip, "Gags and Gals" of the several he did. This one featured, as did the others in the series, various NYC models and actresses posing in bathing suits, and various stages of getting undressed and getting dressed. Since this was 1936, those stages were usually the beginning and the end of the process.
