*compare this film with 1932, "Veiled Aristocrats" played by the same band with this unknown pianist (better to be seen there) to dance clips whilst then Donald Lambert took place and played piano-solo on three wonderful tunes backing Laura Bowman, Freddy Lawson (v,tapdance) & Mabel Garett .

In the late 1970s I had discovered reviews & adverts about this and several other colored feature films in the US black-press (JAZZ ADVERTISED). My friend the late Dr.Klaus Stratemann listed them as wanted in his booklet NEGRO BANDS ON FILM Vol.1 1928-50 (G) 1981. My special thanks to those who had recently uploaded them now on youtube. This one on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m1UDXZn26I I guess they will understand my uploaded excerpts for jazz research.
I would thank for more details of line-ups and correct title
