We are so lucky to be able to watch these surviving snippets from 90+ years ago, as acetate films deteriorated with 20 years, especially so with Technicolor examples like this. 👍🤗

Not only does the entire picture exist, it is easily available on DVD

[@errolfan]

That's all there is (what an understatement). Beautiful 2-Strip Technicolor that showcases Eddie Cantor in his prime.

[@artshifrin3053]

SEE THE "KING OF JAZZ" STARTLING COLOR RESTORATIONS DONE A FEW YEARS AGO. ONLY SOME ORIGINAL SEGMENTS OF THE COLOR PORTIONS ARE SO FAR KNOWN TO HAVE SURVIVED. THE THEN - AS - YET - TECHNICOLOR PROCESS WAS 'BLIND' TO BLUE HUES. THEREFORE, THE COLOR SEEMS TO BE ' UNBALANCED'. LOOK AT "KINEMACOLOR" SHOT SILENT ABOUT 20 YEARS BEFORE.

***** en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technicolor Apparently this was not Eddie Cantor, but they did have color in 1930.

+John Russell This IS Eddie Cantor...

[@fromthesidelines]

Technicolor, however, was not QUITE perfected yet. This was "two-strip" Technicolor, which could only emulate red and green images. "Three-strip" Technicolor, which could visualize the entire color spectrum, was perfected by 1932, and initially used in Walt Disney's animated "Silly Symphonies" [other studios would have to wait until his exclusive contract to use the "three-strip" process ended in 1935]. Live-action use of "three-strip" Technicolor began in earnest, in 1934.

[@duggiewuggie3210]

If an old film's negative still exists (film that photographed the actual scene) scanning and digitizing to process back to positive film stock or to Blu-Ray will make the movie as clear and rich, with all tonal qualities, as the day it was first screened. It's not all as simple as all that but you get the idea.

[@harrylangdon491]

Warner Brothers Archive brought out a very good print of this a few years ago.

[@scotpens]

This movie was in two-color Techinicolor, which means the original camera negatives were actually color separations recorded on black-and-white film stock. I doubt those negatives still exist.

[@jeremynv89523]

scotpens I am asking you because you know the process pretty well: how did they get the blue sky? Even “King of Jazz” couldn’t get a true blue like that.

[@scotpens]

@@jeremynv89523 Can't really help you there. You'd need to ask a movie geek who knows more about early Technicolor than I do.

Mr Cantor was a cousin to my mom's mother. A great pioneer in the entertainment industry from Burlesque all the way to the birth of TV. And if that isn't enough, a true humanitarian of the highest order. I only wish I could have gotten to know him.

[@BixLives32]

I'll be darned if I can tell if this is TWO strip, bonded, dye-transfer Technicolour (Magenta and Cyan, in this example), or VERY early THREE strip, dye-transfer, bonded Technicolour (RGB or Magenta, Cyan, Yellow). I suspect that the credits were done in 2 strip Magenta. Green, and the rest was done in two strip Magenta, Cyan, but I am just guessing. The shirt colour is the indication that it is probably Magenta and Cyan. Two Strip Magenta and Green was most common, but I suppose it depended upon the set designers. I think Magenta and Cyan works much better than Magenta and Green. Why not the THREE strip dye-transfer, bonding process? If you knew how difficult the TWO strip process was, you would instantly understand! In 1931-32 Kodachrome was invented, but NOT used in commercial photography! It was (and still is) a 25 step development process without a negative. Temperature sensitive in the extreme. A 1/4th degree off, and the process goes south. Still, Kodachrome. was sold for home movies (c. 1935). In 1982, whilst working as a custom darkroom engineer, a customer came in one day with thousands of feet of 8mm Kodachrome home movies made from 1936 to 1939! (a rich family!) The celluloid was fragile in the extreme, but the images were colour and resolution perfect! Not a hint of fade or colour shift. No blur or loss of image in anyway! Fortunately, the family did not play the movies much. I had to bake the celluloid (low temp) and slowly alter the environment of the film for a few days, before I could begin the slow process of making restoration dupes to 16 mm. In the end, the film projected as if it was truly modern 16 MM and not a dupe. The resolution of Kodachrome is that good. . I did not have to do anything but clean each frame -no colour-corrections or other image restoration. The final film looked as if it had been shot yesterday, except for the people and clothing in the films were obviously from another time! -All out door shots as it was very slow film. There was no way to shoot Kodachrome with artificial light. Kodachrome has three emulsion layers and was even more expensive in 1932 than 3 strip Technicolour! Another major reason Kodachrome was not used in Hollywood was that making nightly rushes available was impossible. It took too long to develop the raw film stock. Even by the 1950s, processing took too long for use in Hollywood. Too bad, as Kodachrome remains the best choice of analogue colour film today. It's ASA is higher (64) since about 1960. However, if you want to shoot colour analogue film today and do not want to see ANY grain, regardless of enlargement, Kodachrome is your best bet. The E6 process has gotten awfully good, but Kodachrome remains superior. Eddie was a great Vaudevillian and all-round stage performer of professional merit. He could sing, dance and act. Even Groucho liked Eddie. God bless Eddie Cantor. Eddie Cantor was an unusually decent show business cat. -Really, -a prince of a gentleman. Eddie Cantor practically, single handedly, promoted The March of Dimes, and put it on the map. Cantor's efforts probably raised more money than any other single person. Eddie also gave a lot of his own bread to the cause. No one after The War believed that we'd beat Polio that fast, but Eddie knew about Salk and his research, and put his entire heart and soul into the enterprise. Afrt all, what everage joe can't spare a DIME?!! (c. 1946 a dime was worth about 2 bucks in today's money). It was a brilliant fundraising idea and it surely saved many lives. Maybe I was allowed to walk because of Jonas Salk and Eddie Cantor? I am a First Generation Salk Vaccine Baby. I was amongst the first newborns to receive the Salk vaccine as a baby (I still have traces of the scar). It was a round-ish multi-needle injection with several boosters in the following weeks /months. Today, I think it is simply a liquid -one gulp and your're good to go?! I dunno, but it is a lot simpler for kids these days. The only polio that remains on the Earth is frozen somewhere in a petri dish. Such contagions are not destroyed as they still can help us with other diseases. I am not sure exactly how old I was, but I was vaccinated before my memories began (at 2-1/2 years). Anyway, I have that old round scar on my left arm to prove it. Few Americans knew that President Roosevelt was crippled from polio, and that The President spent a lot of his own bread in the previous years on a rehabilitation center in Warm Springs, AK. -Hey, all of you Americans out there; would you elect a cripple as President today? I fear not. Sociopaths traitors are okay, but not the disabled! Go figure. Americans today, need to read more and watch TV less. God bless Eddie Cantor.

Two color Technicolor process number three. "Toll of The Sea" 1922 (in process number two) is the oldest surviving Technicolor feature. Read the new book The Dawn of Technicolor 1915-1935. Kinema Colour was the first viable color process 1906 to 1915 but had fringing. The history of the first forty years of cinema history is not all black and white. Read about it and watch some films on KZbin. Also, that is Eddie Cantor in black face! It's not right but I'm sure malice was not his intent. We all know he didn't work in a vacuum as there were producers, directors, playwrights, scriptwriters, managers and all those that put these films together. Yes he was a minsteral and stage performer. Nevertheless, these young talents were urged to perform before the cameras to become film stars in order to make money as it is today. These old films are time capsules and the only time machine you'll ever find. Although times have changed these movies are a priceless heritage and once lost...

[@Aeonterbor]

I have to ask how the sky in the background of the first scene is blue when technicolour back then used Red & Green

[@ddkoda]

From what I've come to understand the green in the two color Technicolor process was actually a blue-green. So one would expect to see some elements of blue in the final print but not a real true blue with all its varied shadings. I've also heard that the reason that a three color Technicolor process wasn't used from the beginning was because in the 1920's it was very difficult to find a stable blue dye to be used to be used in one of the three separate film strips. Toward the end of its use in the two color Technicolor process the blue part of the spectrum was enhanced with some sort of masking technique that really made the blues look more natural and realistic. That was about as good as it got for the two strip Technicolor system.

[@johnmonkus4600]

It would be interesting to know how they got blue to appear in two strip Technicolor. Maybe in the modern version they took the red and green channels to create a black and white luminence channel and then did some subtraction of both green and red to get a blue channel. The same technique used for analog compatible color television. The ending western scene is missing blue. The first full spectrum technicolor was a Disney cartoon in 1933. It was actually one strip, for they shot the RGB in sequence on the same reel.

[@steveliveshere]

My understanding is that technical made adjustments in the prints. The best example I know of was the Rhapsody in Blue number from King of Jazz. The prints dyes had to be recast to turn green into blue. But yes this example of recasting is amazing!

Please correct the printed lyrics: Cantor doesn't say "Bud Rogers." There wasn't any Bud Rogers at that time. He's saying "But Rogers is not her style," a reference to the great Will Rogers who was at the height of his popularity, with movie roles and a syndicated newspaper column. Will Rogers also happened to be a buddy of Cantor's from their Ziegfeld Follies days.

[@postscript67]

It's "Buck Rogers", the science fiction hero who appeared in a syndicated comic strip from January 1929. Besides, "but" makes no sense in the context.

You are both wrong… he is referring to Buddy Rogers …or Charles Buddy Rogers … who was known at that time as America’s Boyfriend.

The melody is different, and it's also much slower than this one. Jazz in the 1920's and early 30's was fast and used various instruments, but modern Jazz is slow and uses mostly pianos and saxaphones. Cantor's version is something you'd hear in parties during the 1920's, Nina's version is something you'd hear in an expensive restraunt.
