Featured review
A lively jazzy Vitaphone short
Abe Lyman and his orchestra perform two songs in this 1928 Vitaphone short - Waters of the Perkiomen and Varsity Drag. Varsity Drag is a song from the hit 1927 musical play "Good News" which was made into a movie musical in 1930 by MGM. Multple camera booths are set up so that different sections of the band can be photographed, especially as they switch instruments midstream.
Lyman expanded his profile through appearances in early sound pictures and doing the synchronizing on three classic 'Merrie Melodies' soundtracks for the Warner Brothers animation unit in 1931. He also played himself in several of the early movie musicals including "Good News", "Madam Satan"," Paramount on Parade", and "Hold Everything".
