On Jerry Beck's Columbia website, he listed a bunch of Columbia cartoons that Columbia does not have elements to (whether they be color negatives, picture elements, or whatever). Out of curiosity, Are there any cartoons in this group that are totally lost? (i.e. no prints surivive)

I really need to update and clarify that list. The titles listed there are what Columbia has or doesn't have. In some cases they have the soundtrack. In some cases they only have a picture neg (no sound) or a 16mm black and white print. In some cases they have nothing, but collectors have prints in private collections.

Here's a list of the six rarest of the rare. If anyone has a copy of any of these, I'd love to know about it.

THE STORK TAKES A HOLIDAY (1937 Color Rhapsody) - no elements
HOLLYWOOD GRADUATION (1938 Color Rhapsody) - no elements
HOLLYWOOD SWEEPSTAKES (1939 Color Rhapsody) - no elements
WHO'S ZOO IN HOLLYWOOD (1941 Color Rhapsody) - no elements
LIONEL LION (1944 Phantasy) - no elements
RIPPLING ROMANCE (1945 Color Rhapsody) - no elements
