Christmas Comes But Once A Year (1936)

A creepy old man with a creepy laugh thinks it's a good idea to break into an orphanage on Christmas Day. That's not the way you're supposed to take it, but it's not untrue.

Dig the sneaky use of models at the beginning and end that look convincingly hand-drawn... until the camera moves, and you get a better idea of what you're looking at. Very innovative stuff.
