A GAY CABALLERO (1928) Devry Cinetone Film

[Richard M Roberts]

Another of those Devry Cinetone films for a home sound-on-disc system that used commercial record as the soundtrack and had actors mime them. Some unknowns do Frank Crumit's recording of the title tune:

Thanks Richard - I enjoyed this one even more than DOIN’ THE RACOON. These are like Soundies of the late 1920s. The troubadour reminded me of a slightly svelte Paul Porcasi, well, within reason. The girl was cute and hey, she could even dance a bit. Frank Crumit's songs are always a lot of fun.
