My Mother said she went to see this movie when she was 8 in a letter to her Sister that she kept all these years. I wish I could see the whole movie. Never heard of this one before. Impressive stuff.
The kaleidoscopic overhead formation routine at 3:03 runs for a full minute- possibly the longest of its type by Buzz or anyone. No instant playbacks then, and no CGI: a nerve-wracking tour de force for everyone involved.
That's Dolores Del Rio and Ricardo Cortez as the two performers who come out to take the bow at the end. Del Rio was a pretty big star at the time and Cortez was popular enough, but not a major star. He had a long career, too; well into the 60s as a character actor in film and television, I think.

There's no torrents of it anywhere. I had to buy an imported DVD copy released by Warners Archives.
@@berjaboy Thanks, but I already own it now.

I'm guessing this was pre-code.
Go to www.jolson.org for more about this great movie and to purchase a good copy
would we believe entertainment was this great had it not been on film for us to see and we only had modern garbage?
