Rent party, "admission 25" ... and they meant "cents," which in 1941 would suffice.

[@MaryLou913]

She had a babyface

This 1941 soundie at 0:41 may be a first instance in American popular song of use of the term "rock and roll," to denote a Swing move and song style.

Cee Pee Johnson, tom toms.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

Is he who drums in another Dorothy soundie, "Jig in the Jungle"? Wearing a chef's hat? Percussive and gesticulative style seems same as here.
