Being a big fan I guess I'm the only one who knows this. Betty Grable made her first screen appearance in this movie. She's one of the dancers. Her mother lied about her age. She was 14 but said she was 16. Eventually she was let go but when she was old enough she played many bit parts through the '30s. By 1939 she left a Broadway play to go to 20th century fox to replace Alice Faye in Down Argentine Way 1940. The rest is history. She became the top female box office draw from the early '40s to the early '50s. MM came in and took over as the Fox blond. Grable made a few more movies and left to pursue television and Vegas. My favorite movie blond.

Anne Pennington, a great Ziegfeld star I never thought I'd see dance. Thanks to KZbin, no problem! She ended up dying, not exactly well off, as her film career never took off, and her dance roles diminished as she aged. It was said she "became a familiar but unfortunate presence in the lobby of the Times Square Hotel and at the Horn & Hardart automat, often seen sitting alone with a cup of coffee." When she died at 77 the Actors Fund and Benevolent Guild paid for her funeral and plot. Sigh!

Agreed! I’ve never seen such stiff snake hips 😂 But, they are a joy to watch and it looks like a lot of fun! I’m impressed by their tap skills, strong legs, and fast feet. Nowadays dancers have to train rigorously from three or four years old if they want to dance as a job, and even then, very few are technically proficient enough for the standards that whoever it is at the top decides upon. I’d rather have people who are good at what they do but also keep the joy and have time to enjoy life, like I hope was the case for these folks ☺️

Yes, pretty remarkable, and a cementer noted it was released just before the stock market crash. One can see every kind of dancing here-did I detect a moon walk of sorts, and that funny leg hip hop thing? So well done! Thanks for posting.

No she didn't. The lead dancer did "the wiggle, waggle woo." The moon walk doesn't have all that hip action.

This number reminds me so much of the “All I Do Is Dream Of You” number in Singin’ in the Rain. The costumes, the choreography, even the tune look and sound so much like that Debbie Reynolds number.

Blame the nitrate-based film used at the time. As they aged, the masters of nitrate film turned to dust in the cans they were stored in, and in some cases, would spontaneously combust, causing movie studio fires that destroyed and damaged other stored film cans nearby. There are silent and early sound films that are considered "lost" because of this. They're still finding copies of films thought to be lost, stored in theaters and private homes all over the world. We're lucky to have as many of these incomplete and heavily edited film clips from that era as we do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_base#Nitrate

@@flamingvans1135 The edits in this number are intentional cuts, not nitrate deterioration. You're absolutely right about how many films have been lost because of this self-destruction, but I suspect this is a 16mm copy of what would have originally been 35mm, and 16mm was never made with nitrate stock. A great many historic Hollywood films only survive in edited versions from which all kinds of things were cut out, for reasons we can never know today.

1929: Definitely pre-Breen Office material. Good dancing from the girls and Ann Pennington. Difficult to hide mikes back then and scenes were shot by cameras in sound-deadening boxes; the cameras made so much noise.
