Here is a description of this opera from Kiddie Records Weekly:
This seldom seen label introduces an opera classic to the kids. Composed by Ruggero Leoncavallo (1858-1919), it is the story of a sad clown who, betrayed by his wife, must make his audience laugh while he weeps behind a painted smile. Driven to madness, his jealous rage brings about a tragic finale.

Description from the Kiddie Records Weekly site:
Uncle Remus was created in the 1800s by Joel Chandler Harris, who grew up on a plantation in the South during the days when slavery was still very much a part of life. The first books Walt Disney ever read were the Uncle Remus stories and he brought them to life in 1946 with the release of Song of the South. Because of it’s stereotypes, some have found this classic film objectionable and consequently it has not been shown in theaters for years, nor has it been released on DVD.
