    When this was made my mother was a baby, and after 89 years she has just seen her father Ivor Mairants on the left with the moustache singing in the Fox Cubs. What a lovely surprise!

    I'm surprised to see outfits this revealing in the first half of the 1930s. It seems that theater has always followed different rules than the rest of society.

      Contrary to popular belief, cabaret came out of Europe in the 20’s there’s a reason why it was called roaring. Not until the mid 40’s we start seeing more conservative sentiments in shows like this.

      1934 is when the Hays code started biting in Hollywood. Watch movies made 1930-33, some of them touch on subjects that Hollywood wouldn't touch again for 30 years. The Hays code specifically cracked down on movies the public wanted to see.

    Found this hot performance while skimming through København, Kalundborg og - ?, a film that features part of Louis Armstrong's outstanding 1933 concert in Copenhagen, Denmark. Roy Fox and the band appear 52 minutes into the film and play Some of These Days, Wheezy Anna, and It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing). The film was uploaded to UA-cam only a month ago, and except for the part with Louis Armstrong, I'm not sure many in the English-speaking world have seen it.

      This is a terrific production number! I hope you also saved the other numbers that the Fox band played and will upload them also? As the film link you gave has been sadly taken down. I enjoyed this high caliber chorus routine alot!

      Yes, but in the 1930s, color was rarely used. Color took off in the 1950s

      @@Matt78collector Color was used as far back as 1929 to highlight musical sequences in movies. Here's an example from Gold Diggers of Broadway, featuring Nick Lucas singing 'Tip Toe Thru the Tulips' as well as a finale with dancers/acrobats. The very last performer (part of whose segment is lost) is George Raft, future star of Scarface and other classic gangster movies: ua-cam.com/video/f1DTKhVlUMY/v-deo.htmlsi=C5ZuZbW3McpEYC3B
