"Our Daily Bread" was King Vidor's 1934 film about "collective farming" during the Great Depression [starring Karen Morley and Tom Keene] that was independently produced and directed by Vidor, and released through United Artists {again, they were among the few Hollywood outlets that allowed W2XBS to telecast some of their older films on an "experimental" basis}. "Stone Age Romance"(1929), shown on Friday, was among the Van Beuren cartoon studio's "Aesop's {Sound} Fables" that were produced between 1928 and '33 ["Western Whoopee" (1930), seen the previous night, was another in the series]. By the time most of the Van Beuren cartoons were telecast in New York in 1940, the studio itself had been out of buisness for almost four years.
