3D of a bygone era
mr3d11 September 2006
This is Will Cowan's third 3D short (after NAT 'KING' COLE WITH RUSS MORGAN'S ORCHESTRA and HAWAIIAN NIGHTS), and is the runt of the litter.

Basically it's a nightclub show, and yes, rather boring by today's standards (shot July 1953).

It could be edited to half the length.

However, it has finally been seen by a modern audience at the WORLD 3-D FILM EXPO 2 (11 SEP 06 – and may not have been originally seen in 3D) and was applauded by the 3D fans, though obviously not with overwhelming enthusiasm.

The 3D cinematography (Irving Glassberg) was 100% up to Universal's high standard, and the print (brand new for the EXPO) was excellent.

Just a filler, as all shorts were, but a solid example of high quality stereoscopic motion pictures.
