She was Marge "Babe" Cane, and she was her younger sister

Helen Kane was a classic. Everyone wanted to rip off her act including this one. When it came time to lawsuits.......Betty Boop won.

Great fun, super!

I believe that only a certain few of the musical numbers were in Multicolor, and I'm pretty sure that no color prints or negatives of those now exist, or at least none that have been found. The Kino DVD is fully black and white, with excellent picture quality and well worth having. But it would be quite a find if copies of the color sequences should turn up somewhere, someday!

Colour was mentioned and yes, the film was in Multicolor, a Bi-Pack 2 colour system that was cheaper to use than Technicolor, but visually less sharp in the colour sequences as the light had to go through two layers of film. "Sunny side up" was in Multicolor as well.
It was developed into Cinecolor, used in budget westerns etc., well into the 1950's.

This is absolutely the BEST!
The clarity of that horn in the begining is great.
Wild set. Great music!

And who says they never did drugs in 1929? Reminds me of a sequence in the Avengers TV series. Which girl is Mrs Peel??.

From the Greytones in this Film, and the brightness of the film (Hot Lights and lots of em) this tells me that this sequence may have originally been in color. Researching a bit I found that original portions of this film were photographed in a process called "Multicolor"
Any Color sequences exist in US prints? Because of heavy European distribution, American color sequences may not exist, but
The possibility of european prints w/color sequences that have not been disturbed.
