  • I was just sent this by a pal. I recognize my Grandmother, Bonnie Bannon, at 2:03-2:08. She was a Goldwyn Girl at the time. I also see her friend, Wanda Perry as well. The other names I do not know off the top of my head. Hard to believe that my grandmother would have been 98 in a few days from now (June 23, 2011). Thank you for putting this up on you-tube.

  • @lowbaritonewwj Thanks, Glad you found it.

  • This location is the Hotel St. Catherine Descanso Bay Catalina Isle ...It took me forever to figure out where this snippet from Pirate Party was. Built in 1918 ..it is no longer there ..the beach is ...it was replaced by a "beach club" so to speak ..of small buildings where near as glamourous as the original hotel.

  • Your WIFE is Art Deco? She must be quite angular! Really, really ,really nice short. Johnny Downs was adorable, Betty, his partner, was cute, Cary Grant was cute, Virginia Bruce. You get the idea. My father, who was out here in Hollywood at that time, said the old joke was true: On a clear-day, you could see Catalina! We're ALL of-a-mind on this, apparently: That WAS the time to be alive! Oh yeah, when I was a kid, we used to live in Chester Morris' old-home in B.H.! R.J.

  • Way better time. That's why my house is all Art Deco...furniture...phones...ev­en my Wife.

  • So nice to see our San Diego favorite Johnny Downs again!

  • Holy cow, I want that corsetted sailor dress. Oh and CG looks swell as usual. Nice pink suit, Oxford Guy. Also the swimsuits, especially the coral sarong, number was swell. Oh, Ilove the pirate girls, too! That's it, next year's pirate party will be 1935 pirate girl look.

    Cheers, Esther,

    Nipper

  • Womens swim suits were actually quite becoming even tho. they showed less....

  • What a delightful short! Thanks for uploading. There is nothing as pretty as early three-strip Technicolor!
