This is almost certainly from the 1930 film "Symphony for two flats"....no sound film was available in Britain in 1928.Payne has a much slimmer,more boyish face in 28/29 then shown here
It's from a 1950's documentary about the history of dance music. After this footage is shown the narrator then says "...and that was Jack 'shoulder's' Payne in 1928'.
Jack Payne and his BBC Dance Orchestra recorded "I'll Never Ask for More" for Columbia on 7th May 1929, so this film (which is possibly a De Forest Phonofilm) is likely to have been made near this date. The little bit of cornet you hear towards the end is played by Frank Wilson, a good jazz musician who later joined Henry Hall's band at the BBC.
their is something about the look and mood that one feel's as if ti could come back in one form or another today in 2007 as the saying goes what is old new agian what is lose is found
I wonder where this was filmed? Could be a studio set, but also might be a hotel ballroom - was Jack Payne's band still playing at the Hotel Cecil in 1928?
Such a pity it is so short!. What an amazing clip!, showing my favourite band. Jack Payne directed the BBC Dance Orchestra I wonder if this clip was before that 1928 appointment?
According to "British vintage music films"This was made by British International Pictures in 1929,and other songs included aside from the lovely "i'll never ask for more"seen here, were "Ever so goosey" and "My sin"
Because it is from a compilation of the 1960's I think they lost the original clip. Of Lily Morris "Bridesmaid) there is also only a copy in a compilatian of the 1950's.
wonderful. Thanks.

I have heard records by Jack Payne for many years but never knew he was on film with his band. This film clip is great to see. Thanks for sharing it.

The british pathe website says it's from the film 'Jazz Time' (1928) but I can't find anything on it.

Excellent orchestration towards the end - Mr. Payne does make some funny faces while singing, though!
