1929 Dance in a Night Club

[David10brook]

yep we have lost so much

[TheRaffleTube]

Suddenly, cowboys.

[Vojak3]

0:38 .. xD

[unclepup]

Notice that the ladies are wearing costumes which do not match, no two alike.  Never saw that before in a big-time Hollywood musical.

Restaurants/clubs today are too cheap to put on floor shows like this. Everything got too expensive, and that was that. So we go to YouTube to see some dancing girls! I live in NYC, and a show costs $100 ($50 if you stand on line for 1/2 price tix). Maybe we demand too many special effects.Me, I'm happy with dancing girls and a little piano. nice video.

wow, pretty risque for 1929, skimpy outfits, girls smoking and hangin out in bars.

totally hot.

[jazz1929]

This is from "Rio Rita", with Bebe Daniels, John Boles and Wheeler and Woolsey, the last two of which make the film worthwhile.

[Percival892]

I think that this is from "Rio Rita!" It's a very special beginning to the film.

as much as i love music period (all eras) i would NEVER say i was born in the wrong era, or music today sucks,, i rap myself, and i would just be disgracing my self and the art of mcing .. im glad to be alive now, because i can go on youtube ad find a wide variety of great music, and some not so great... no matter what music is the greatest art period, brings happiness period.. music is unbelievably diverse, and i love studying how it evolves over time

[RetroBandNerd]

Thank you so much for posting this! What a sweet little song and dance, I love it!

Oh and hey, if you watch the lead dancer starting at 0:14, is that or is that not the precursor to "Thriller"? ;)

Could you tell us please the title of the film and some more about it? I'd love to watch the whole movie.

[hebneh]

The two cowboys look a little out of place striding into a nightclub in the midst of a floor show, but I guess this was to show the modern, up-to-date west of 1929.

[jd03150]

This piece is great fun, but it certainly has absolutely nothing to do with the American West, then or now. This is vintage Hollywood sound-stage work and is about as far away from reality as could be imagined down on the Texas-Mexico border.

[erinkiff]

i would like to go back to this time .....

[odysseetheater]

oh yes, meee toooooo !!!!!!

[Johnlocke29]

....... add a big movie palace... red velvet curtains... an a nice ice cream soda after the movie.....pure joy an a ride home in a new ford....could life be any better.. john...lyric pines thanks for the clips

[calvinnme2]

Hey, perfectjazz, could you post the "Broken Down Tune" number from Street Girl if you have it? Just saw it on the TCM RKO tribute and loved it. This was my first time to see Rio Rita too.

[MusicalFeelings]

Great posting, thank you!!

[Tsugaheterophylla]

Cool. Does anyone know the name of the song or the orchestra? Looks like something from a movie; dramatic tension as the cowboys swagger into the jazz club!

[perfectjazz78]

The song is called the Kinkajou ..... the cowboys are looking for a bandit called The Kinkajou, so the song fits in with the dramatic action. What is sad is that the solo vocal and dance by Dorothy Lee was cut in the 30s and has not been restored to the current print.

[Karkardream]

thank you....really learn more

[paulj0557]

@perfectjazz78 Aw' Dorothy Lee is priceless, that is sad. She was the first hot little goof of many to follow. Are there copies around?
