Also in 1933, for the first time the entire floor revue from Harlem's Cotton Club went on tour, playing theatres in principal cities.

#AmWatching this evening is a mix of classic and modern:
ALL AMERICAN CO-ED (1941)- #FrancesLangford short film where opening number is singing men in drag! Also Gary Cooper impersonations. https://youtu.be/e7bsy0W38Mk
SPY (2015) - a #MelissaMcCarthy favorite 🔎-

CAREER GIRL (1944) w/ #FrancesLangford. Of course, it's not as good as STAGE DOOR, mostly because it doesn't have the stellar cast needed. It's low budget & not thrilling but I'm still enjoying it. There's an excellent tap number as well as Frances' beautiful smooth tones.
Can you believe #MoreyAmsterdam co-wrote a couple of songs?!
