Featured review
Surprisingly enjoyable.
"Main Street Follies" is a two-reel short from "Vitaphone" and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it since it featured so many musical numbers. I think the strangeness of some of these song and dance numbers made the film endearing.
Mr. Brock sends one of his employees to spy on a new show in which Hal Le Roy is appearing. The guy returns and describes, act by act, the dress rehearsal As for Brock, he wants to 'borrow' some of these routines and rush them into production...which is pretty sleazy. What follows are like seeing an excerpt of a Broadway show...but a most unusual one, as it includes snow, live horse, trampolines and acrobats! In the end, there is a cute twist....which you'll just have to see for yourself.
I just found this film charming and fun....with good music and a nice strangeness that make it a most unique short film. Well worth seeing.
