Glorifying the American Girl (1929) Part 1 of 11

This is part one of the early American musical, 'Glorifying the American Girl' (1929), produced by Florenz Ziegfeld and featuring-but not starring- Rudy Vallee, Eddie Cantor, and Helen Morgan. I do not own this film and do not have the permission to upload it.
Of course, it's in the public domain, so there's no-one who could have given me the permission. Vision St. Clair, the company which produced the DVD from which the video was taken, may have rights to this copy that I am not aware of, however.
The picture quality is only marginally worse than the DVD quality, if you're wondering. During some quick movement, bars quickly flash on the object moving. This is unfortunate but not terribly noticeable, and a common glitch made by many DVD-reading software. Also, the audio seems to be slightly out of sync- by about .0001 miliseconds. It's not obvious, and the audio still comes out in the appropriate places. Unless you make a point of matching the voice exactly to the lips, you might not even notice.

This is a great piece of show biz history! The kind of musical show depicted in the last few parts is what people went to see at the New Amsterdam Theater on W 42nd St. - produced by Ziegfeld. The scene showing the major NYC personalities entering the theater - Otto Kahn, Mayor Jimmy Walker, Flo Ziegfeld and his wife Billie Burke, Tex Guinan - fascinating - great history.
