This game features a caricature of entertainer Eddie Cantor on the box and a photo of him on the board, though the singer/comic's persona has little do with the game. Players move their pawns (representing automobiles) around the board by playing cards that represent traffic signals.

Eddie Cantor, radio, film and Broadway personality, lent his name to this Parker Brothers' game created in the 1930s. Game play sometimes has little relationship to the celebrity endorsing the product. Players in this game race around the board avoiding tickets and fines.
This first edition features a photo of star entertainer Eddie Cantor showing off his trademark "eye-popping" look on both the small game box and the back of the accompanying board. While some of his song lyrics (e.g. the last verse of Making Whoopee) refer to a judge, his attachment to this game is clearly just a matter of celebrity endorsement.
