"Lustige" is a German cartoon that hilariously depicts British recruitment techniques. Inspired by the Merry Widow Chorus from 1905, this cartoon takes a satirical approach to Lehar's famous operetta. With witty illustrations and clever dialogue, "Lustige" pokes fun at the recruitment process with characters like Gertrude Lester and Evelyn Laye. The cartoon showcases the absurdity of war as it portrays enlisted German soldiers relaxing during their time off. It also captures the essence of entertainment with references to Die Barnum & Bailey Groesste Schaustellung der Welt - Lustig (The Greatest Show on Earth - Funny). Lily Elsie shines in Lehar's operetta, adding glamour to this comical portrayal. Through its unique blend of humor and music, "Lustige" presents an entertaining commentary on both British recruitment techniques and society at large.
