SEA SORE [1934] - "BABY" ROSE MARIE, MONTE COLLINS

Special thanks to RALPH CELENTANO for the print!
This is another rare comedy short, this time from 1934 and starring Rose Marie, best known as Sally in The Dick Van Dyke Show, as a child! This is all that survives of this rare short subject that also stars the great Monte Collins.

Rose Marie was great. Her singing isn't childish at all.

Very entertaining, radio stars and recording artists to boot !!

[@MrSuperbatone]

Wonderful! Great that you preserved this film, even as the USPS lost it. Ironic, that in digitizing it for Rose Marie, it was saved! She's therefore responsible for this existing at all. Say, that guy Monte - isn't he also in "The Woman Haters," - that absolutely great musical short with the Three Stooges?

[@dariowiter3078]

You are definitely correct! Monte did appear in that Columbia Pictures short that launched the Three Stooges series for that studio. 😁😁😁😁😁

What a sweetheart she was a darling ,I hope she wasn't abused like so many child stars ,Shirley temple,Judy garland,Justin bieber

[@sunnydayzie1202]

Stop with the Shirley Temple abuse. Shirley said she was punished at four by being out in a black box time out on the set of the shoddy studio she worked for. Yes was really crappy but drama has overblown it into a lifetime of abuse which never happened, certainly not once she went to Fox. Even Shirley said in her autobiography that the time out in the black box made her realize at a young age that time was money. She never felt particularly traumatized by it and continued to enjoy what she did. Please listen to her own story before Tik Tok drama

If you can find Rose Marie's biography/documentary it is very entertaining. I think it's called Wait for your Laugh.

Fred Mertz!

[@ChrisMRose1]

I do not see William Frawley in here & he is not listed on the IMDB credits for the film.

[@VitaphoneCorp]

The best part of the short is the section with Arthur Tracy singing which is why he is billed first. Rose Marie was annoying and not funny. That number she sang was beyond awful… I assume she was trying to be funny 🥱

[@mhenry4248]

Disagree. She was amazing! What a voice and presence

[@sjames1955]

No one knows annoying better than you.

[@KennethJDeVries]

Much more nudity than expected! ;)

[@kentuckylady2990]

William Frawley is in this.

[@nzarzecki]

[@virghammer1]

Doesn’t look like William Frawley to me.

[@AML2000]

@@ziva1 The "nudist" was the captain and was played by Jack Daley according to IMDB.
