I think the piano is by Roy Bargy.

I LOVE this, What a great recording. When I hear this music, I wish I could've lived then.

@Goldenbreeze1 Probably not. The 'obscenity laws' for entertainment and films only really kicked in after the mid 1930s.

Everybody is doing the Charleston! Including athletic macho men as in 1:11 and 1:14 and, of course, me holding on to the chest of drawers and getting out of breath in no time!

A really splendid post. Great music and pics. I agree with Genia about the monkey!

Thanks for sharing.

Sparkling version of the old song and dance. Must go outside and dance in the Washington midsummer heat, then jump into the pool if the police don't arrest me.

Grzegorz,

I love this Isham Jones Charleston, he was a true Master of Music and I love that piano solo. That MONKEY was the BEST Charleston Dancer and a very Snappy Dresser!  Merci.
