Creaky Historical Document!
Creaky, but worth seeing just to see ANYTHING with sound from 1926. The quality of the recording is not bad, actually - the orchestra sounds good, with nice effects from the drummer. However, the microphone was too far away from the singers, even from Anna Case; she needed to be another 10 feet closer! I think the reason for the poor camera work is that the camera was encased in a big, sound-proof booth with a window; there just wasn't much room to pan the lens.
I would never have guessed that Rita Hayworth, then 8 years old, was in this; the girl in the dance routine looks much older. Nice footwork, anyway. Love the Vaseline-haired guy (oh, brother. he-he) Anna Case's makeup was truly ghoulish - I suspect it was done by someone with very little or no experience in movies. Still, this film is good to see for the history value. Once.
