Bertha Hill and Louis Armstrong, "Trouble In Mind" (1926)
In spite of the primitive elecrtical recordeing equipment used by OKeh records at the time, the power and beauty of this performance shines through. A true classic and a big favorite of mine:
-
Great stuff! You can't go wrong with Louis!
Here's more on the Mardi Gras theme...

I met Lillian Gish at a screening of THE WIND (1928) at the Wiltern Theater, in L.A. in 1980.
She was a delight.

I do have a couple of favorite first rate second bananas.
Irving Bacon, an excellent character acter. He pops up in many films such as Sparks, the chauffeur who keeps catching Thelma Todd's dress in the car door in THIS IS THE NIGHT (1932), or a grumpy travelling saleman (Mr. Dillson) in the delightful short STAR IN THE NIGHT (1945) which also stars another favorite character actor, J. Carroll Naish, who adds much to the films he appears in like BLOOD & SAND (1941) and SAHARA (1943)
Elizabeth Patterson is a favorite too. It wasn't until I stared watching lots of classic movies that I realized that she was also Mrs Trumbull in I LOVE LUCY. I really like her performance as Miss Habersham in INTRUDER IN THE DARK (1949), and she was delighful in LOVE ME TONIGHT (1932). Irving Bacon also appears in a few episodes of LUCY as well.

I find that most of the product put out by the Paul Terry studio was not all that great.
Thant's not to say I don't like Mighty Mouse or Heckle & Jeckle. The problem is once they established a formula for a series, it's as if they now were just going through the motions. There's little creativity in Terrytoons, the writing is lackluster and the gags are weak and the musical scores are uninspired. THE TALKING MAGPIES (1946) is a terrific cartoon, but unlike the writing staff at Warners, once the Terry studio had a hit cartoon series, the level of quality falls off sharply.
To some degree the Mighty Mouse cartoons fare a bit better than most of the other Terry product.
There is a bit more consistancy with these cartoons. THE MOUSE OF TOMORROW (1942) is very good as is THE KILLKENNY CATS (1945) and THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD (1946) to name a few.
Overall the Paul Terry studio turned out a lot of dross, I mean, how many memorable cartoons have you seen with Farmer Al Flafa, Dinky Duck or the Terry Bears?

They came pretty close when Buster Keaton was Star of the Month.

That's so sool!
It's funny, while I was watching it, I was wondering why Paramount never reamde this film as it would have made a good talkie.

I love yiddish!
He doesn't appear to be a schlemiel or a nudnik either, so what's not to like?
Judging by some of the other thread I've seen on these boards, I get the feeling that there are some here who think him to be a schmekel. Personally, I like to think that he's more of a mensch.

As clunky as that technology is today, it's hard to beat the look of a three strip Technicolor film.
A film like RAMONA (1936) looks as beautiful today as it did 77 years ago.

You can't go too wrong with a song from Elton John either...
