I'm no dance aficionado, but there's something about Marilyn Miller's routines that quickens my pulse and cheers my soul. Call it star quality or charisma (or my crush on a beautiful young woman 70 years dead), but I just can't take my eyes off her. I'm also dazzled by the variety of her routines -- there's no "typical" MM dance number, except that she's invariably playful, joyous and light on her feet. It's wonderful that these clips have been preserved -- many thanks!
