Ken,
The one with the silhouette of the audience member standing (and
interacting with a caricature of Edward G. Robinson in Little Caesar)
was an Avery WB Cartoon "Thugs with Dirty Mugs". The silhouette then
remains past a cut into a new scene and rats out Edward to the cops.
The same cartoon breaks the conventions of split screen when a character
moves across the split.
As Mark pointed out, in the Avery Cartoon "Magical Maestro" a character
grabs what appears to be a hair in the projector gate and plucks it out.
That was done at MGM.
Medium specificity ... for the sake of humor.
