Where Do They Come From?????? Where Do They Go??????????????

Kitty looks like she'd be about as fun as eating a bowl of wool.

The owners of Hollywood between 1919 and today used pretty White women like paper towels IMO.

[grenadian11]

She actrually had a wonderful voice; its a shame she did not explore it; the voice more.

[sallieparker]

This song is an imitation of Noel Coward. That minor-chord progression--"where do they come from and where do they always go?" Except a Coward song would be harder to sing.

Yes, folks, there was a Broadway. It was killed and paved over by jerkrudy and Disneyfication. Its just a sanitized beigebland tourist trap now. A very good thing we have film such as this, and I thank you for posting it.

Yes, it's from "Murder at the Vanities" but Kitty is not the one who sings the song "Sweet Marijuana".

[katejoya]

yeah a brazillian bikini with a touch of polter-wang

[G7VEW]

Lovely! Does anyone have any Elsie Carlise or Evelyn Dall clips please?

[Nationsnotregimes]

JMO the tragedy/crime of WW 1 led to this, and today.

[staghorn52]

What an entertaining and historical piece of early Hollywood! Kitty is ok but the surprise is Lucille Ball. Yes! She is the second stenographer chorus girl from the right shaking her leg at minute 1:12 into the video.

[whizbang47]

As a fan of camp and art deco, I love it. Throw in the classy Kitty Carlisle and you really ought to overlook a lot.

[mookindahouse]

is this from murder at the vanities?

[scotpens]

Yep! Check out the other clips from this odd little 1934 mixture of musical and murder mystery, with Carl Brisson performing "Live and Love Tonight" and Kitty Carlisle singing "Sweet Marihuana"!

[mic33george]

I love this number and the song!

[skot66]

Women were better back then...My wife is right from the 1930's and 40's..her style. Pale skin petite..red lips ..etc..I love it

[MelanieAF]

I agree, I love that look. I love that women wore dresses/skirts for everyday, and hats. And tell your wife, pale is the new tan :)

[joisfun]

I would have loved to have met KITTY one of the great LADYS of all time SO MUCH CLASS! MY MY! terrible production number HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE HEHE OH MY

[juanieboy12]

Ugh, sadly, I hate this song. It seems to drag and the melody sounds so horrible. Great clip though.

[zorchman]

Check out one of the blondes at 1:08 into the song....#2 from the right shaking her leg and chewing gum as a stenographer. It's none other than TV's future favorite redhead, Lucille Ball! Yep, Lucy was a chrous girl, waaaay back then in 1934!

[Brett20740]

The 1930's transition period -- not bad for the time. There was a lot of experimenting in the new sound medium. Kitty is one of my all-time favs and a treat to hear her sing.

[FoPo4]

Worst song ever! Tune is dreadful, lyrics are worse. Played it for several people and they agree completely. Especially shocking because so much money went into this scene.

D'ou viens-je, où vais-je, dans quel état j'erre ?

[perfectjazz78]

Above comment translated:

From or come I, where I go, in which state I wander?

[smurfswacker]

Pretty spicy costume on the second swimsuit model from the left!

[perfectjazz78]

Indeed!
