She was a real beauty.

Bow was only second to Joan Crawford at box-office 1930 after six talkies. Her voice and singing in this clip is as tight delivered as her pantomime. When it comes to Bow there is a legacy problem. Scott Fitzgerald and Clara Bow were both icons of the "roaring twenties" and somehow held guilty for the depression in the 1930s. F's masterpiece "Tender is the night" (1934) took decades to reach its rightful place. If there ever was a elephant in a room, it is Clara Bow!!!

Her voice is perfectly fine, but it's a "sassy broad from noo yowk" kind of voice which maybe didn't fit with the established persona. In this and some other clips you can hear her accent going all over the place.

I like IT ...I LIKE iT.....And back then only the sailors had tattoos....

Clara does an excellent job, especially considering that Paramount threw her into talkies with virtually no training. She has a natural charm. There's nothing wrong with her voice at all! You can't help but fall in love with her!

Cute scene. It shows you Clara still had "IT" in talkies too. Too bad Paramount didn't manage her career better.

Clara hated talkies preliminary because of the fixed microphone technic that limited her pantomime.
I think...

I don't see why everyone says her voice is terrible.
I think it's perfectly fine

Clara Bow didn't really have that bad of a voice. In fact, I think she had a voice that was perfectly acceptable for sound films. I feel bad for her considering the fact that talkies caused her to feel suicidal. Poor Clara, she was like a meteor who went out to soon.
