FitzPatrick Traveltalks
I am a fan of the FitzPatrick Traveltalks and have seen quite a few of them on Turner Classic Movies. I use the Advanced Search and sort them by release date to keep track of the ones I've seen. Recently, I noticed that the listing now only shows 230 "episodes," but it used to list 231. It appears that "Rural Mexico" (1935) no longer appears on the list, although it can still be found on IMDB. Does anyone have any information on what happened?

Rich: What exactly is the Advanced Search you are doing?
You could also just try going to James A. FitzPatrick's page at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0280534/ and look through his Producer credits. As far as I can tell, the first Traveltalks he released were in 1930.

On a separate note, apparently FitzPatrick spent 1925 through 1929 producing shorts on musical topics, starting two years before the release of The Jazz Singer made sound film commercially viable. Can someone explain that to me?
