Answer:  “REEL“ TREAT

(Awesome Jumble!  None of the clue words are new, yet all of the jumbles are.  I thought that “tageen” was a great jumble, and I even had to back into “rarity”.  The answer letter layout was a swonderful jumble too.  Nothing in it gave the answer away.  The cartoon is no less than a masterpiece, with the classic old movie theater, and the people’s outfits.  Especially the women’s!  I can just imagine my Gramma, back in her heyday, seeing her first “talkie”!  Actually, the woman in the foreground looks a little like the Tony Curtis drag character, from “Some Like it Hot”!  Not exactly a seminal moment in cinematic history, like “The Jazz Singer”, but a very funny movie nonetheless.  Tony actually made for a pretty cute dame!  More believable than Jack Lemon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  The closing line of “Some Like it Hot”, when Jack Lemon admits he’s a man, was a little ahead of its time, and definitely hilarious.  Check it below.   —   YUR
