The Great Gabbo (1929)
.
Brilliant ventriloquist Gabbo increasingly uses his dummy “Otto” as his only means of self-expression—an artist driven insane by his work.
The dummy Otto was a hand carved basswood Frank Marshall figure. The same man who designed Edgar Bergen’s famous characters Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd.
