  • @ClarasBeau Clara was the greatest and initaly they used her in good roles - where she more than proved herself.... after the It Girl took over and a money bonanza formula was created, they varied little in the type of films for her, I always thought she would have perfect for " Dark Victory"

  • Clara Bow was tragically underrated as an actress. Her voice is perfectly fine and her Brooklyn accent is not really all that noticable. Paramount gave her virtually no training, either speaking or singing, and just threw her at the mike! Brava Clara!!!!!

  • In the storyline of the film, she is not trying to entertain; she's trying to get her beau to dump her by embarassing him at a high-hat party. She is also (in the story) pretending to be drunk. If you watch her closely, you'll see that Clara does a GREAT job of acting as one does when one is "overserved". So she really was a terrific actress, especially when you consider how uncomfortable she was with the new technology.

  • I've never understood why people don't like Clara Bow's voice. I love it. She sounds just as she should. She was a little spitfire from Brooklyn (who could "lick any boy her size"). Her singing is powerful and tragic all at the same time (just like her).

  • @4MaryAnna having just read her biography,she was indeed very traumatised from this time onwards

  • I love how much energy she has in this clip!

  • I adore Clara Bow,but I've always thought that she (in this scene only) was acting more like someone about to have a nervous breakdown and less like someone belting out a song to entertain people.

  • Way to go Clara. Why were people so shocked? It's not like she was taking off her clothes. Clara was the most natural actress of her time and she was loved.

    Dont give a care what people will say,

    Dont give a care for people to-day,

    Wonderful days, wonderful nights

    Wonderful scenes, wonderful sights

    Let me go, Im rarin to go, Im Rarin to Go!

    (Refrain)

  • (slow tempo)
