A Musical Comedy of the Great Wide West (1)

[RRaquello]

Ethel Shutta, the nurse in this scene, was the girl vocalist on the very first run of the Jack Benny radio show, sponsored by Canada Dry, around 1932—33. Her husband, George Olsen, musical director of this movie, was Benny's first band leader on the radio.

Wow! I believe that according to online sources, this first number has Betty Grable in the lead at age 14.

[BusbyRocks1]

@Baggs4299 Yes, and she's in some other numbers, including "Stetson".

There's only one word

.....WHOOPPEE,,,,,

,Eddie Cantor at his best and in colour as well, the best preserved example of 2 strip technicolor, complete with additional blue. This copy looks restored nicely, I believe the film was recovered from Jack Warner's collection several years ago. So many were lost in the 1950's of these early musicals in colour.

Manys thanks for the posting......
