Was thinking of transcribing this for organ, shouldn't require any creative flow as it was arranged very well. If someone beats me to it, please post it. I'm still a guitar player more than an organ player, but the past 15 years I've been all about playing organ, just not super fluid on theater yet.
Apparently the scene was shot experimentally by Technicolor in red/blue, not red/green, 2 strip, same as Multicolor, with the costumes in dark bue for the first time in colour, and then they double printed a green layer with a blue layer, giving the first time stronger blue that they had wanted for years. The same double staining was used on Whoppee, giving the best 2 strip before the 3 strip process was perfected.
So I'm not the only one in love with this? It's so alive, but eerie at the same time. One night not long after I first was taken by it I played it on KM player in repetition as I slept. In hopes that I'd dream about this day. I don't know why, but the lighting or some underlying quality of this film has me thinking it was performed in the day time. I suppose there is no way of finding out. Thanks for such a beautiful post.
I thought i had commented on how glad i was to see this truly beautiful clip again.That 1930 colour and the excellant singer doing the truly lovely tune real justice,perfect!A parcel should be arriving soon by the way!
this was originally filmed for The March of Time, and later edited into Lord Byron of Broadway and the aforementioned Roast Beef and Movies (w/ Curly Howard in a rare solo outing)
@GreeninMissouri go to new york city and search in the collection of the lincoln center library. you may have to transcribe it on the spot but i would be surprised if you couldn't fine it there.
the color in this piece has either held up very well, or a fine act of restoration has been performed by very talented and dedicated hands. this is not just a glance at history, but a reminder of the artistic texture that was present, even prevelent, in early film. thank you for sharing it. keep up the good work.
Thanks! I agree with you. This is brilliant for its age. This clip is taken from the restored version of Lord Byron Of Broadway (1930). The second color sequence featured in the movie is The Woman In The Shoe which I also have up.

An early attempt at Busby Burkley-style chorerography. Not perfect, but so charming... And I love the early Technicolor! Thanks - -

I'm doing an assignment on Dimitir Tiomkin, Albertina's husband, and this is so fascinating to see after reading about it

I love James Burroughs' tenor voice. I wish he had made some phonograph records.

This number was also incorporated into the MGM short Roast Beef and Movies (1933), with George Givot and Curly Howard.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! I'd love to know the lyrics! Do you also know where I could find sheet music? THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS!

Sheet music for this? It will be very difficult. Maybe you might find it at your favourite antiques dealer tomorrow...or in ten years.

Sheet music was never issued for this song. Four songs from the film were issued:
1. "Should I?"
2. "Only Love Is Real"
3. "Woman In The Shoe"
4. "A Bundle of Old Love Letters"
You can find them all on ebay.
