alice white was a GOOD entertainer'
& the only way I know of her was through your GREAT MUSICAL videos'
The only suggestion I have here is I wished the PRODUCER filmed the her
singing to a FASTER SPINNING TAP STAGE WHEEL!!!
as the MUSIC sung was a bit on the slow side but thanks 4posting it'

At 1:30 that's David Manners, the blind man who helped Barbara Stanwyck see the light in The Miracle Woman.

1. every time I see one of these clips I'm thankful for the interwebs.
2. why is 'bevy' only used for chorus girls? Such a great word.

This extract from an early Alice White film (BROADWAY BABIES?) is a wonderful number and I am amazed that BB founded his career on similar songs. I wonder who the choerographer was....

Great stuff. Is this girl Alice White? Also, what movie is this?

Exactly what I love! A perfect plongé. It makes me remind 1935's Follies Berger, with Oberon, Southern and Chevalier. The jazz is white and naive! Antonio Augusto from Brazil

I love this song!
Just wanted to give you the correct title for the song you have identified as "Give It This, Give It That" on your two Alice White clips. The actual title is "Giving It This and That", and the songwriters are listed as George W. Meyer, Archie Gottler and Robert Mitchell.

Was this originally shot in color? The gray tones against gray tone and the use of reflective sequins and beads in the costumes suggest that this might be a black and white transfer print form a color negitive. The music fidelity for 1930 suggests that this is a vitaphone soundtrack. The fidelity is excellent for 1930.

I really don't know. IMDB says that it was not (SWEET MAMA) but they could be wrong.

Love it. Not Busby Berkly, but you can see the influence.
