Lillian Roth is fantastic! Thanks to RU-vid and uploaders like perfectjazz78 I've been discovering for the first time the astonishing singers and actors of the 20s and 30s. I fell in love with Lilian Roth when I saw her in Story Conference. Everything I've seen since confirms what a wonderful artist she was. This piece is one of the best!
Because Lillian Roth was under contract to Paramount in 1930, she starred in several of their musical shorts as well. This is one of them, taken from a "U.M.& M. TV" print, which acquired virtually all of Paramount's pre-1950 theatrical cartoons and shorts for TV distribution in 1955.
fun... Lillian had a lot of material once you start digging... she had that pre-code sexiness that was so much fun to watch.. introduced at least a few standards.. "If I Could Be with You" and "Sing You Sinners" come to mind
