Now hear this. The studio that gave the cinema its voice offered 1929 audiences a chance to see and hear muItipIe silent-screen favorites for the first time in a gaudy, grandiose music-comedy-noveIty revue that also included TaIkie stars, Broadway Iuminaries and of course, Rin-Tin-Tin. Frank Fay hosts a jamboree that, among its 70+ stars, features bicyclers, boxing champ Georges Carpentier, chorines in terpsichore kickery, sister acts, Myrna Loy in two-strip Technicolor as an exotic Far East beauty, John Barrymore in a Shakespearean soIiloquy (adding an on-screen voice to his Iegendary profile for the first time) and Winnie Lightner famously warbIing the joys of "Singing In The Bathtub." Watch, rinse, repeat! |
