Love this movie and song!!! I also love how Ann can be found a little off beat at 1:53 to 1:55, then again at 2:05 and then at 2:09. I love seeing small little flaws in these movies. It was all so new to them. Beautiful!!
Apparently she was stunning even in the late '60s. She was considered the prettiest of all the Ziegfeld girls by photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston 'n ol' Flo hisself!
Ahh, Ann Pennington 1910s and early 1920s Ziegfeld star, the gal who invented the Black Bottom dance. Here she was 36 (born 1893) but obviously still cute.
Double wow for June Clyde, at only 20. Later she would marry director Thorton Freeland (director of Whoopee, among others). Two of my fave 20s stars in one clip. I highly recommend June in the British musical pictures "She Shall Have Music" and "Dance Band" as well.
Ann Pennington was an all around amazing dancer and she did do the Black Bottom and she helped influence and spread the dance to the mainstream white America, and should no doubt be credited as such, But she didn't invent the Black Bottom.
GREAT!!!!!!!

Did Ann change her name to Penny Singleton?
If she is one and the same, this film is the first pairing of Blondie and Dagwood Bumpstead
as Arthur Lake was also featured in this film.

No... It was Dorothy McNulty who changed her name to Penny Singleton. Ann Pennington never changed her name.
