Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1943 Friz Freleng directed, Jack Wabbit and the Beanstalk:
This is one of only two cartoons where Elmer's speech impediment is referenced in the title (without Elmer appearing), the other one is Wackiki Wabbit.
On May 17,1875, Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark, grandson of famed explorer Lewis Clark held the first Kentucky Derby race on land he acquired for racetrack from his uncles John & Henry Churchill. The horse, Aristides raced the 1.5 miles to win, in a field of fifteen horses, in front of a crowd of 10,000 spectators. Besides drinking a bunch of Mint Juleps, The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to honor the race by asking you to join us in watch the nearly forgotten 1943 Abbott and Costello comedy, It Ain't Hay. So get your snacks together, find the most comfortable place on the couch and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this comedy.
Considered by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello fans to be their "lost" film, it was never actually lost but was unavailable for viewing for many years due to legal issues with the Damon Runyon estate. The original title of this movie would have been Hold Your Horses, but it was changed to honor Abbott and Costello's success in raising money for America's war bond drive. It was so successful, that the film makers' way of describing the effort was to state that "It Ain't Hay".
Demand Euphoria!
