Summary:
"Musicals shorts, originally produced to merely fill out the film program, have in many cases acquired more value than the features they once supported. Filmed at the Paramount Studios in Astoria, Queens, these twelve shorts offer unparalleled opportunities to see and hear early great jazz and blues artists in action."--Container.
