I first heard this song on an LP years ago, that featured her 78 RPM commercial recording of the song. Then found the movie on TV years later.This film version of the song is as good as it gets. And the choreography is non-pareil. Thanks for this upload!
Hi 'perfectjazz78' - You will want to seek out the short film, Hollywood Rhythm, that features Paramount song writers, Mack Gordon and Harry Revel - along with Lyda Roberti. It is basically a promo for Paramount's music department AND this film. It is available on DVD in a collection of short films. Too bad Lyda's life was cut short. She had plenty of "hot cha" with a full measure of "wicky wacky woo" thrown in!
Reminds me of Publix shows at the Capitol for some reason -- 2 notches below the Music Hall, 1 notch below the Palace, 3 notches below the Ziegfeld, 2 notches above Minsky's. Catchy tune, nice dancing. Great fun!! Thank you!!!
Well, hooray! Great effects from the cheering section, especially when they turn from back to front and expose either the light or dark side of their costumes.

Thanks glad you enjoy. I really like Lyda Roberti and have all but one of her movies up to 1935.
Yes, Thanks. It is on the Hollywood Rhythm DVD compilation from KINO video.
It's from the Paramount film "College Rhythm."
Well, hooray!
