Does anyone know this (Disney-)cartoon?

Hey folks! I read about a cartoon but I have no idea which one it could be. It was released in the 1930s. The source says it was a Disney cartoon but I'm not sure about that (it also could be a Van Beuren or a Fleischer cartoon). The only detail I know is the end scene: A character named Balbo gives the mayor of New York his beard.
I know this isn't much information but maybe someone of you saw this cartoon and can remember the title. Thank you so much!

Do you have any images or links to the cartoon at all? Any other info? I kind of want to find this one out now myself! If there is anything else you can give me, I want to see if I can figure it out. If it was Disney it would have to be a Silly Symphony from the sounds of it, but I don't remember any of them with an ending like that.

That's exactly the problem - I don't have any images. I found the information in a German dissertation from 1940. The author itself found the information in a newspaper article from 1934. The only information they give is this scene (maybe it's not the end but the climax of the film) and the claim that it's a Disney-short.

I think this will take some research. So this started from a dissertation you read? Man, we have a really animation mystery on our hands here, how exciting! Let me see if I can find anything, but it may a take a while if I can find anything.

Try asking in the Golden Age Cartoons forums. There's some real animation buffs there, I'm sure they'll be able to help you.

I've already asked there, but nobody answered.
Even Jerry Beck couldn't help me...
