Whispering Jack Smith is awesome, and also kinda creepy in a way, but I love that about him!

The cute blonde in the opening seaquence is Marjorie White an early Three Stooges leading lady "Woman Haters" (1934) her last screen appearance.

People don't remember any more, but "Whispering Jack Smith" was very popular in the 1920's, so to ask him to to headline this number (back then) would have been totally appropriate at the time... So glad that this footage still exists, as it gives us a gander at what what was apparently the "rave" back in the day... I love it!! - - Thanks - -

@schellack78 it's a great song but I've never seen it on a 78 anywhere.

WJS was also in another early part colour musical called Cheer Up and Smile - there seems to be some confusion as to whether this is a lost film or UCLA holds some sort of print
-
anyone know if WJS has an internet radio station like Annette Hanshaw's?
-
yes he always "said" a song, and somehow it was ok. He was very famous when I was young.
-
i guess this "happy days"-version is not available on record...
-
Is there a 78 copy of this song anywhere? anyone know where I can get a copy of this film?
-
The last frame says "William Fox Production"...so it would be Movietone. I don't know why its out of sync...pity though :D

The movie this sequence comes from (Happy Days) was released in 1930, not 1929.

I love J. Harold Murray's singing. Such a shame that two of his three musicals are lost and the third only survives in a single copy kept in a vault at UCLA. He had a great voice.

I have read that a bit of "Married In Hollywood" also survives.
