A Few Moments with Eddie Cantor is an early sound film made in Lee De Forest's sound-on-film Phonofilm process in 1923 starring Eddie Cantor in an excerpt from the Broadway show Kid Boots. It premiered at the Rivoli Theater in New York City on 15 April 1923. It contains two songs: "The Dumber They Are, the Better I Like 'Em," and "Oh, Gee, Georgie." The rest of the recorded material would be considered standup comedy. In all, the recording is nearly seven minutes long.
