"Let's Be Common" from Love Parade (1929)

From Ernst Lubitsch's "Love Parade" (1929)
Perfomed by Lillian Roth and Lupino Lane

[@SurferJoe1]

Wow, Lillian Roth was adorable.

[@JeryTillotson123]

lillian roth had charisma to burn. tragically, her personal demons and alcoholism early destroyed her bright movie career. her memoir, "I'll cry tomorrow" is horrific as she describes her descent into hell over the years. always loved her early movie appearances. the movie version with susan hayworth greatly white-washes the grimness of her years.

[@allisonyoung4285]

I believe the movie washed her real life too. From what I've seen on the internet😮

As bad as it was it was good, Lillian's tombstone inscription.

Lupino Lane's acrobatic moves are amazing. I had to watch them in slow motion as well! A great underrated film talent. Many of his silent film comedies were unavailable due to destroyed negatives in a film vault fire in the 1930s and he became undeservedly forgotten. In the last decade or so, copies have been located and restored. I highly recommend seeing them. Funny and an incredible acrobat!

[@jeremymullins1294]

Always amazed by the pre-code era and how unstuffy it was compared to the next 3 decades.

[@harrylangdon491]

You know who's like them today? Nobody, that's who.

[@canaisyoung3601]

That's a good thing, because it was just pale in comparison

[@News2morrow]

Lupino Lane has said that Director Ernst Lubitsch allowed him to direct his own scenes in the movie and it shows. Lupino had been directing his own pictures for years. Lubitsch was smart to allow that.

92 years ago! This is fantastic!

(2/5/16) I had never even heard of this movie, "The Love Parade" (let alone of Lupino Lane), and TCM ran it tonight. The acrobatic nature of Lane's dancing made my jaw drop, and I wanted to see this number again. So I thought, "D'ya suppose KZbin...?" As always, the answer was "yes." Between KZbin and TCM, what else do we really need? (Note the date, kids: Sound was less than a year old, and, quite likely, the orchestra was on the soundstage with the performers... I cannot believe how good this sounds.)

[@vivalapsych]

I might has well have written this myself!

[@tuxguys]

vivalapsych That was a compliment, I trust?

[@vivalapsych]

+tuxguys yes! Absolutely. ☺️

[@MrVidaeverdade]

Shouldn't you both be complimenting the person who was kind enough to take the time to upload this?

[@MrVidaeverdade]

Lupino Lane was Ida Lupino's uncle.

[@tomcat3360]

She's only 19 here! I'm in love.

[@OneWhoLivesThere]

Yes! So happy somebody uploaded this. It gives me new hope in society.

[@misswestergaard]

She is irrestible, thank you !

[@coolhairmel]

I love this scene, one of my favorites from the movie.

[@dibbledob2]

What pros ! What timing ! What acrobatics ! They surely *don't make artistes - or movies - like that any more...and *more* is the pity !

[@harrylangdon491]

See, I'll take Lillian Roth and Lupino Lane over any group of four or five performers entertaining today. I read Lillian' autobiography and it holds the same level of horror we have today with all these big shots who abuse women with impunity. You should like for Lupino Lane in a real oddity on YT: a film of a BBC 1930s TV musical as the TV cameras saw it. TV had taken hold in England long before in the US, and of course WWII put a halt on commercial TV. The BBC TV excerpt is that tenacious ear worm, The Lambeth Walk.

[@meuls82]

Lupino Lane had some SERIOUS-ASS MOVES!

[@dxmxo9427]

great song acting and costumes her dress so cute and she's pretty

[@321abcable]

Susan Hayward did not look or sound like LR in I'll Cry Tomorrow.

[@phyllisgrellman4741]

Susan Hayward was a Beautiful woman who could act circles around Lillian Roth. Lillian Roth was cute! Susan Hayward was glamorous.

[@Mikado8848]

Lillian was down to earth; Susan was tough.

[@jamoore144]

Oh my goodness! I love Lillian. Incredible and wonderful acting slap stick comedy clip with a little bit of everything. I agree with Sven, Susan Hayward didn't sound anything like the sweet voice of Lillian Roth. Susan Hayward did do a remarkable job in capturing Lillian Roth sweet nature and great acting.

[@theweirdofengland]

This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.

[@SM-my3bl]

Whatever happened to talent? to humor?

[@mitsymagicful]

Excellent I've never seen this before!

My mum was 15 in 1929.

[@ivanapavlovic9985]

antica, hvala ti za ovaj film, koji mi je bio nejljepši sa prtnaest godina, BIJELI JORGOVAN, kojeg sam gledala neznam koliko puta i uvijek otišla plaćuči van. danas nitko ne pjeva tako lijepo divan glas i krasan par. hvala još jednom ivana

[@richardmoderate1738]

is that really Lillian Roth singing?? it sounds exactly like the wonderful Winnie Lightner

[@drsunshine1959]

That was Lillian indeed - she had a terrific voice and was as cute as could be.

[@hobodivine]

3:26 Straight up B-Girl stance! (one of my favourite movies thanks for posting!)

[@ninjaginger6418]

J C brought me here 😎

[@kudujongen]

I watched this film on the same day that my grandfather died.

[@BarneyGoogle1950]

I think I once saw Bill and Hillary Clinton doing this.

[@johnboys4697]

PhillyRich are you from Philly?

[@gregorypalmer5403]

Har har

[@akrenwinkle]

@Andy Arriaga Only PhillyRich knows for sure, but I'll go out on a limb. He meant that in the scene Lillian was the aggressor, the male reluctant, and the results were awkward and comical.
