Stage Fright is a 1940 Merrie Melodies short directed by Charles Jones.
Plot[]
The two curious puppies chase each other into a vaudeville theater after hours. In the backstage, the two pups fight over a bone. There, they investigate a stage magician's props. As is expected, trouble emerges with the two meeting up with a mischievous seal and bothering a rather cranky resident pigeon who lives inside the magician's hat instead of a rabbit!
