Cameo Comedies is a brand of short comedy films made in the United States. The films are one-reel shorts from Educational Pictures, usually produced by Jack White,[1] and Colonial Motion Picture Corporation.[2][3] The Cameo brand was used during the 1924-25 and 1931-32 seasons. Three of the productions utilized 3D stereoscopic effects in the titles.[4] The earlier films were produced for $5,000 each.[5]
