Sing Another Chorus is a movie that has terrific acting, singing and dancing. My Dad and his brother, Peter and Ronald Piotrowski (Peters Bros.) began their show business career at the early age of 15 years old. This movie showcased their talent and they had the opportunity to continue to grow into big name stars. Through time, Dad met his wife and my Mom, Lorraine LeBouton. Dad decided life was too short to neglect the ultimate life experience of having a family. Dad took center stage with Mom being the best supporting actress and had 4 wonderful children, Debbie, Pam, Peter and Scott. Our parents decision was the best decision. The opportunities for all of us to laugh, cry and live a healthy, happy life together is something that will never be forgotten. The family vacations, movies, dinners, functions and gatherings all provided an experience of growth for all of us. To be able to reflect back upon a time when my Dad was on the big screen makes this movie most enjoyable!

Universal cranked out loads of these six-and-seven reel wonders in the early 1940's. They benefited from great casts, really good songs, outstanding orchestrations, usually fast pace, and more than serviceable scripts. SING ANOTHER CHORUS is a typically cheery entry with great work by the largely unsung Johnny Downs, Jane Frazee, George Barbier, Iris Adrian, Mischa Auer and Walter Catlett. The Peters (Piotrowski) Bros. do some terrific dancing and sing the rhythm number "Rug Cuttin' Romeo". Iris Adrian (though very well dubbed) does "The Boogie Woogie Boogie Man". This song got plenty of mileage. It appeared again later in 1941 in a Will Osborn two-reeler, sung by the Brian Sisters; and again in 1944's MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM. Unless you find a grey market DVD or an old United World Films 16mm print it is doubtful you'll get to see this little sparkler. But if it turns up on your horizon, check it out. There are many worse ways to spend 64 minutes.
