Take A Chance (1933)

[@Shatallion]

lol! "Him much better BOOOOOILED!"

[@stepno]

Same 1933 film "Take a Chance" has a "Paper Moon" production number (with sword fight!, but no Ike & ukulele? ), and a clip of "New Deal Rhythm," a long number that was cut out and released separately. Both are on KZbin. But those aren't Cliff Edwards numbers - any more singing & strumming by him from that film?

I have similar stories- it's truly an amazing instrument.

I can't believe how weird that 'flashback' sequence is...

[@NickTamila]

Anyone know the chords???

[@RugbyDemon6789]

man they could shred on the uke in the 20s

[@wininboy]

Yep, a typical day in a ukulele player's life.

[@Usurped]

That was good!

[@Quack4Zac]

@songplugger Probably Cliff Edwards himself!

[@perfectjazz78]

My book doesn't tell me... Anyone Know?

[@RugbyDemon6789]

is he using D tuning ?

[@hackdown3]

what movie is this from?

[@hoosierhiver]

@perfectjazz78 I'd guess Cliff wrote it but I'm not sure.
