History WesternAnimation / PageMissGlory

* BingeMontage: A low-key and compressed one when the "Page Miss Glory" song is sung. It's started by three nattily-dressed gentlemen, with three glasses in front of them. The song is intercut with drinks being prepared, coming back to the gentlemen on the chorus. The second time there are a lot more drinks in front of them and they're not quite as in sync in their dancing; the third time they're reeling behind a huge piles of drinks and their BlackBeadEyes have been replaced by WingdingEyes (crosses).

* AlcoholHic: The MouthCam shot features a guy take a sip of a martini, and then hiccups.

The second time there are a lot more drinks in front of them and they're not quite as in sync in their dancing; the third time they're reeling behind a huge piles of drinks and their BlackBeadEyes have been replaced by WingdingEyes (crosses).

* ArtShift: When the bellboy falls asleep, the film shifts from a traditional 1930s cartoon look to a more stylized Art Deco design.

In this cartoon, a hick town is preparing for the arrival of someone known as Miss Glory. While everyone is preparing, a country boy who works in a rural hotel aspires to be like the bellboys seen in the more upscale, urban hotels. He takes a nap and suddenly finds himself in an art deco moderne-style hotel, where he is the polished, upscale bellhop he dreams of being...and has to contend with musical numbers and slapstick from the other hotel staff in order to meet Miss Glory.

* AllJustADream: Most of the cartoon is a bellboy dreaming about meeting Miss Glory.

%%* {{Fainting}}: The bellboy after TheReveal.
* GrandDame: There's one in the dream sequence-- but she turns out to be NotSoAboveItAll after the bellboy accidentally steps on her dress train, tearing off the whole dress and leaving her in a (patched!) slip: she quickly grabs some big leaves from a nearby potted plant and does a little fan dance [[BreakingTheFourthWall for the audience.]]

* VocalDissonance: The bellboy, being tall, lanky and bucktoothed, you would expect him to speak in a hillbilly-like SimpletonVoice. Instead, he's voiced by a ten-year-old Tommy Bond.

The short is notable for being one of Literature/The100GreatestLooneyTunes.
