The third Alice Comedy was released on May 1st, 1924, and this short breaks the format in a few ways. For starters, Alice doesn't have a dream about Cartoon Land, but instead tells a story about one of her animated adventures when things go awry during her "wild west show." And the second oddity about it is the absence of her usual sidekick, Julius the Cat, replaced in this short by an unnamed dog.
The wild west theme was a success and Alice would retread the same ground a few year's later in another short titled "Alice's Wooly West" (1927). But by then, Virginia Davis had hung up her 10-gallon hat and a new girl was in the title role.
This is the full, unedited short, complete with scenes that show Alice smoking a cigar and stereotypes of Native Americans. 100 years later, it's hard to imagine Disney putting such content in a film, but it's important to remember that these shorts are a product of their times. In the 1920s, movies were aimed at adults, including animated shorts, hence the comedic value of watching kids engage in activities that are beyond their years.
