Flapper Chorus Line with Ted Weems Orchestra

You know you've made the Big Time when you're leading a band that's accompanied with a chorus line of perky flappers. But then again, if you're Ted Weems in the late 1920's & early 1930's, this is the life of a famous radio bandleader.

Just another day at the beach on the Eastern Seaboard during the Jazz Age, perhaps in Coney Island or Atlantic City.

Hey D, thanks for a real kippy film! A swell romp by a hot band, and those tomato's really know how to fan those gams too!

My research indicates that this was filmed at the Steel Pier, Atlantic City, NJ, July 17, 1930. The dames kickin' up a wind with their 'get-away sticks' are Norma Schutt's chorus girls. Hotcha!

This is one of my favorite You-Tube films for a very personal reason.

BUT, if you want a moment of reality take a look at the fifth from the left dancer in the first 10 seconds. Watch her mouth:

pout,

clean under her lip,

snide smile,

professional smile.

She's a gas!

I've gotten a couple of requests for why this video is so personal. My aunt is in the film. I saw it by chance and called my sister. You got it!! Then we both called her children (our nephews and neices). Well, there went the carefully cultivated image of refined conservatism. Oh yes, she's the one in the white bathing suit, dead center.

Hey robert, I took a hard look at her, she is just so funny, you got a sharp eye , all the rest of us guys were distracted by all them legs  lol

@Robert11xyz LOL re the chorus girl! Makes you wonder what she and the dancer next to her may have been talking about just before the director yelled 'action'. Love seeing 'human' moments like that caught on film from those days.
