What made the Weems Orchestra special in the late '20's,in my opinion, were the
imaginative arrangements,use of insruments,key changes etc. In this number there is a good tuba or sousaphone solo followed by some glorious piano,with presumably much use of the loud pedal, which produces an 'echoey' effect.
What is it that makes Weems stand out aboee the other bands? Some I like, other I love, but I keep returning to Weems. I had about a dozen of Weems records, all beat to h*ck, but they they were amongst the record I most often played.
I've never come across a commercial copy that was better than V+
some bitch flapper blocked her videos from me who had this song. I didnt care about her dancing, i just wanted to hear this song. Thanks for posting!!!!!!!
BTW, Clara wasn't the sexually obsessed lady written about and the idea for example that she bedded a college football team has long been dismissed as myth. Which is not to say she wasn't permissive as was many a flapper of that day and time. But there was much written about her that was not true. Still a sad story tho.
Lovely word --oczko. But now women just toss the stocking, eye and all, into the trash. Poor blind stocking...Worth a poem. By the way Clara Bow attended my high school in Brooklyn many, many decades ago. Never graduated, far as I know. Didn't know she was such a sexpot!
Boy, Grzegorz!!! You know just how to brighten up a rainy day!!! I LOVE THIS!! Love the 1920 Oldsmobile at 2:19, I Have a 1924 4 door Oldsmobile model B With the first radiator and trim to use Chrome! IT`S A 6 cylinder, Very Dark Purple Blue with Black Finders. along with my other 6 1920s cars, it`s the tallest, at 6' 2" tall. This video is as 1920s as you can get! just my style. Thank You so much for Your hard work on this AWESOME video.
In Polish a run in the stocking is "oczko" (an eye) - "poszło oczko w pończosze" meaning literally: a stocking has an eye. I remember from childhood the places looking like newspaper kiosks, or sometimes they were just little corner counters in department stores - where women could repair stockings. These points were always full od clients and it must have been quite a lucrative little job for some retired lady who run it. And suddenly, almost overnight - that profession disappeared.
and so did gary cooper according to ms. glynn, and i think tony, tom mixes horse....interesting company...ha. love this song. thank you for wonderful illustrations and delightful photos.
Yes, she indeed was a "IT" owner. I was surprised to read some time ago - in some American actor's biography - that Clara Bow was "a sexoholic", as we'd call that disease today. Back then it was called : nymphomania. It totally ruined her life. She was constatntly engagin herself into new relationship, than - dropping her partner to another, than engaging and dropping again and again... plus a lot of booze and probably, dope. Such a sweet & childlish face - and what a tragedy behind it.

Wonderful cymbal crashes-perfectly timed!

I can't believe this wasn't on YT yet, it's one of the classics epitomizing the 20s.

Than ks Masquerade. Ted Weems had his best years between 1927-30. All his recordings from that era are just glorious!

They all had "takie coś" - do you remember that song of Tadeusz Olsza?

Super dynamic music. And these ladies -- each one of them has got it, even if it's just a run in the stocking, like the one at 1:22.
