1930. Two-strip technicolor. The effects are very good and the microphones are well-hidden. The song and dancing is typical for the late 20's. And Zelma O'Neal brings both looks and energy. Paramount was getting into financial trouble at this time, and a number of these films did not survive, especially the color versions. Paramount sold most of it's pre-1950 output to MCA in the 1950's, primarily for TV distribution. Universal inherited them when MCA bought that studio in 1962.
Hey folks, try to remember that she was a real human being, with a real family who misses her (she passed in 1989), and anything negative you say here is hurtful to us and unnecessary. She had her share of hardship as a human, but I promise you, she was bad-ass. To the person who posted this, thank you. We're glad to see that people remember her fondly.
I remember the first time I ever saw this! I LOVED it! I came out of My chair when I saw the flames shooting out of the trumpet's!! I was just a teenager at the time! And a Jazz Baby at that! I LOVE Zelma, She is GREAT in this Movie!
A 35mm color restoration print was shown at Cinecon in Hollywood a number years ago and it was stunning, much better than this. For some reason that version has never been officially released. The music conducted for this film was by George Olsen, one of the few films he was featured in during this period. It was originally a Paramount production, so it could be owned by Universal.
I am mad for Zelma O'Neal but they're so little film of her this is about the best I guess. Do you ever think we'll get to see the full film of follow through?
You can find the full film on youtube search for "FOLLOW THRU 1930 2 Strip Technicolor Color Corrected" I watched it a few days ago, it's quite silly but a very enjoyable film.
@@toomanyinterests if you put me on to that film so I can see it I will go to Lord's and pray for you I'll go all the way on my hands and knees while my one good knee anyway thank you so much
@@toomanyinterests well I just watched the film I don't understand why you called it silly. It was art pure art. Thanks again I'm off to Lourdes I'll keep in touch thanks again I loved it
@@roderickfernandez5382 I was referring to some of the more ridiculous stuff like Jack Haley's eyebrows thing. I didn't mean to suggest it was a detriment to the film, it's actually part of what made the film so enjoyable for me. It's also great to be able to see this 92 yr old film entirely in colour since many from the time now only exist in b&w, that is if they haven't been lost. I found it a fun and beautiful film.
The reason this is not available except in grey market copies, which is probably the source for this clip, is that the estates of Schwab and Mandel, composers of this show for the Broadway stage has forbidden it's release. I'm not sure if they want outrageous sums of money to clear the rights or what. Truly a shame that this cannot get a legit release.
Two color technicolor existed before three color technicolor. Did you know that technicolor is not color at all as it is filmed, but instead a filter is placed over the camera lens consisting essentially a transparent colored lens. The transparent colored lens blocks that color from the spectrum entering the black and white film. The two color like ''Over the Counter (1932) Early Technicolor'' has no blue because no blue filter was used. There is a neat video that shows how> technicolor process
Well, not quite. What you are saying that there was no "color film" to photograph color. The color was obtained by using color filters with Panchromatic (Black and White) film. Since Panchromatic means "all color," blue was obtainable. It was the old Orthochromatic film that was blind to blue and was used later for special effect situations where blue was used for guides but would not be photographed. The Two-Color Technicolor Process photographed a red and cyan frame simultaneously onto a single negative. The alternating frames were copied onto printing negatives where the impressions from the negs were used to dye the color onto positive print stock.
Wow I've never seen such a clear copy of "Follow Thru"? Where did you get it from? My copy is dreadful. It is obviously from a video tape as I can see video flickering and rolling here and there; but nevertheless it's still the best example of Technicolor I've seen for this movie. Are you allowed to say where you got it from? Any chance of a copy? I will pay for the postage to the UK. Thanks
She did have freckles, but she was American, not Scottish. She was born Zelma Schrader, a preacher's daughter, but ran away from home at 15 to go be on broadway. She and another lady changed their surnames to O'Neal to pursue a sister act, and she soon got picked up for Follow Thru.

I saw the full version at UCLA and still remember how funny she was!
I LOVE HER!
What a talent! I can just imagine sitting in the audience and watching this live. It must have been incredible!!
What are people saying about her?
Such a beautiful and lovely talented lady. And all the classy talented people in this great musical number. I'm so glad my friend sent this to me!
Zelma sounds so very contemporary here!
I remember the first time I ever saw this! I LOVED it! I came out of My chair when I saw the flames shooting out of the trumpet's!! I was just a teenager at the time! And a Jazz Baby at that! I LOVE Zelma, She is GREAT in this Movie!
Zelma was quite the cute little devil and always enlivened all her films of the period

Absolutely love Zelma in this. I keep watching it, she makes me laugh, especially when she dances. Never seen the whole film, but would love to.
Zelma O'neal is a great singer en player Nice !!!
I never tire of this number - technically quite a ways ahead of the curve for 1930, and funny too.

loaded with plenty of hell...th and vigour... (love it)
Having heard Helen Kane's recording, this version just blew me away.
Specialeffects were very good.
Nice and sharp sound and video. Thanks so much for reposting this remarkable vintage number!
I never tire of this clip!
HYSTERICAL! Great clip! Well done all around. The "female fire brigade" was priceless. Along with the flaming trumpets and the voyeur Cupid
This is cool. I had no idea something like this existed. Never heard of it, and I love classic cinema.

Thank you for posting this... A great copy... What a kick!

GREAT best video in ALL youtube thanks for posting...see folthrl
She’s so darn cute!!! Thanks
I want to be loved by Zelma❤
Wonderful
At 1:55 I detect some of the "flippity flop" Steps in there.....
Can they find a better or restored print of this? It's a fun production!
Diana Ross sung I want to be Bad in her 1979 Ceaser's Palace Special
Zelma has plenty of zip !

ok.ru/video/961597082130
me neither. nor can i find the 1930 film good news
I’ve worked out the chords for this song
Sounds like Penny Singleton singing. Penny later was Blondie in the 1940s movies.
Admit girls, you all have one of these days! Especially during PMS!!!
she was scottie freckle faced but in technicolor looks a picture...and in real life a picture was ...Varsity Drag¡

Oh dear... my smelling salts!
This stopped the show??? THIS?
She reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres of today.
She's Much CUTER than Ellen.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
She was later arrested and charged with 22 counts of mail fraud & various parking offenses. Remember kids - just say no.
oh please, dredging up ancient "charges" like parking offenses? How pointless and mean!
Helen Kane version was way better
nah zelma's good too. helen's a goddess in her tricks but sometimes they can tire you out, it's nice to have diversity
