Dear Arabella

1941 · 3 min

A brief, cheerful musical short that plays like a vintage jukebox clip, easy to watch and gone in a moment.

Directed by
Josef Berne
Starring
Snooky Lanson
Overview
Coin operated jukeboxes during WWII were able to play video as well as the audio and this here is one example of that. Ray Noble and His Orchestra get the top billing here but we've also got Snooky Lanson and a couple other performers chipping in to sing the title song.
