"The House That Shadows Built" is a promotional film that was made to be shown to film distributors and other inside folks in order to promote the 20th anniversary of Paramount Studios. So, while the film isn't the most watchable short film, it really wasn't intended to be shown on YouTube!
This fascinating film from 1931 was designed as almost a "history" of Paramount studios. They had been in business for some years when they decided to promote their stars and projects in this production.
