Wow, a few parts in this short musical were kind of a shock to see. It just shows you how few original things we see, that most things have been done before.
Break-dancing in the early 1930s? Yup, they're here in the team of "Larry and Larry," who also reminded me of the famous Nicholas Brothers with all their acrobatic talents mixed in with the tap dancing.
Hannah Williams was very, very impressive, too. This woman not only could sing but was a great dancer, too, and part of her "skit" was a marionette-type movie with her legs - something else was "in style" 50 years later! For somebody that isn't well-known, Williams was hot and talented.
This short is worth seeing alone just for watching her sing and dance to "Get Happy." This short feature was one of a number back in the '30s that would be played before the feature movie, giving singers and musicians a chance to be heard by a much larger audience. "The Audition" is an apt title, because that's what many of these kind of "shorts" were intended to be.
This was a bonus feature on the DVD of the film "The Mayor of Hell," starring James Cagney.
