From 1937, here's a Hugh Harman-Rudolf Ising Happy Harmonies cartoon entitled "Swing Wedding." In this one, Minnie the Moocher loses her patience while waiting for her respective groom, Smokey Joe.
Like its' Oscar-nominated predecessor "The Old Mill Pond," this cartoon features caricatures of top entertainers such as Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Stepin Fetchit [as Smokey Joe!], Fats Waller, the Mills Brothers, and Bill (Bojangles) Robinson. This cartoon, released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, was directed by Hugh Harman. Roughly 7 1/2 minutes into the cartoon, one of the frog musicians used a trumpet valve for a hyperdermic syringe.
