isn't this funny that this clip plus film like its a great life and lord byron of broadway and the viking exist in good conditon and yet the rogue song , due to carlessnes only exist in two scenes and a faded trailer
All that Vaudeville talent, honed by night-after-night performing, harnessed by Hollywood. We need to put together another 'farm-system' for our entertainers and musicians. That's why the years 1925-35 were of such a high quality entertainment-wise.
@JCJasion thanks for your brilliant comment. You are so right. That age developed such great talent and personalitites. Unlike today. Im all for your idea!
@2reeler - Today, a number of us in Central NJ are promoting straight-ahead Jazz jam sessions and events where people of all ages can get their feet wet, performing in front of an audience. It's more a weekly thing though, and not night after night. Would that I could find a place that would pay me a living wage to do that nightly.
@paulj0557 Thanks! Life in a 2 strip prison full of flapper dancing girls cant be all bad! lol I agree, I love the 1925 through 1935 era also! And that number from Free and Easy is awesome!
@paulj0557 Theres a great book written by a chorus girl who joined the Fanchon Marco prolog troupe in 1929 you must have! Its called "On Stage Gypsies" and was published in Berkely CA in about 1980. Its a yellow paperback.Check the used book seller web sites for a copy!
As usual, a top rate video by 2reeler. Very entertaining especially with your added effects and images. If you listen carefully at 3:15 there's a bit of the melody from "The Prison's Song" made famous by Vernon Dalhart in 1925. Thanks for sharing these rare clips!
@bsgs98 Thanks for your swell comments! Love your added information that few people would know. Like me. Glad you liked it. I made this up a year ago and never caught the prison pun in the lyrics till yesterday when I uploaded it, when she says: " SING-SING ing along". lol
Wow, fantastic! Wonderfully saturated colors of technicolor as well.

@RobinPratt Agreed! Lots of fun going on here! Jailhouse Rock seems like a 50s clone of the Lock Step now! Thanks for your comments!

Is the dancer on the left ( looking at the screen) Marion Shilling, the 'Free and Easy dancer in Buster Keaton's movie 'Free and Easy'?
Thank you for uploading. The years 1925 to 1935 are IT for me, but I could spend life in that prison any day! So to speak.

What you added is so perfect, I did not realize it was not original to the piece until after I watched it, when I read your description.
You did an awesome job! Seriously, I am in awe! lol

Congratulations for your video, it's very nice !
I'm glad you added the lyrics too, because they are
quite difficult to understand for someone like
me whose native language is not english !
If you don't mind, may I ask you where does the original Lockstep clip
comes from ? Is it from a DVD ? I'm a big fan of 1920's and 30's musicals
and getting a number like this would really please me.
