Cameo Comedies represents a collection of brief comedic motion pictures produced within the United States. These single-reel shorts were developed by Educational Pictures, with primary production handled by Jack White alongside the Colonial Motion Picture Corporation. The Cameo label was active during the 1924-25 and 1931-32 periods. Of particular interest, three of these films featured 3D stereoscopic technology in their presentation. Initial productions were created with budgets near $5,000 each.
