The Installment Collector (1929) Short Film
25 years prior to appearing on Goodson-Todman game shows, and 5 years prior to the premiere of his long-running radio show, Fred Allen starred in this unremarkable one-reeler most likely shot in the Kaufman-Astoria studios in New York. The early sound era was full of one-shot comedy shorts provided by virtually every vaudeville entertainer of the day. This is Fred Allen's first on-screen appearance.

Fred Allen's screen debut. A sketch about a man who keeps getting visits from a bill collector. So this was filled with insult comedy. Had it's moments for sure, but I wouldn't say Allen's persona was fully developed to take the screen by storm. Plus he sure was a ugly bastard.
