The Katnips of 1940 is a 1934 short animated film distributed by Columbia Pictures, and stars Krazy Kat.
Momentarily, Kitty Kat—Krazy's usual girlfriend from the sound-era shorts, here drawn with Swedish-style blonde corkscrew curls—comes out of a dance school only a few yards away before entering Krazy's studio.
Krazy, however, isn't interested and therefore turns her down as he is expecting a famous soprano, Fifi La Frog, to arrive.
Kitty then demonstrates her acting skills as she goes into a movable balcony, and recites some romantic poems "like Katherine Hepburn".
Kitty, who is still up on the movable balcony, applauds before accidentally leaning too forward and falling off the platform onto La Frog.
