Vaudeville

1935 · 11 min

A breezy, charming peek at old-time stage turns, watched with a smile and very little effort.

Directed by
Joseph Henabery
Overview
A vaudeville revue is presented. Ray and Sunshine perform a high spirited acrobatic routine, demonstrating both their strength and flexibility. Chaz Chase then performs a comic routine, demonstrating what one can consume besides traditional foods. Next, The Holman Sisters, sitting back-to-back, perform a fast paced two-piano duet, each often playing both pianos at the same time. Finally, the headline act, Al Trahan, tries to raise the sophistication of the show in his piano-vocal duet with a coloratura. It is questionable if he achieves his goal.
