The Bitch, 1931.

La Chienne (a.k.a. The Bitch) (1931) -- (Movie Clip) Open, A Stirring Social Drama The opening credits to Jean Renoir’s sensational second sound feature (he first made a quick farcical comedy, to show producers his ability with the new medium), then a framing device, using puppets to introduce his stars, Michel Simon, Janie Marese and Georges Flamant, in La Chienne, a.k.a. The Bitch, 1931.
