    Three cheers for British colonialism!!

    The Vitaphone shorts were originally intended to be experimental and tested out the new Warner Brothers sound system before they ultimately released "The Jazz Singer". Following the release of the film, they continued to make Vitaphone films...even after sound became the norm. So, it's very fitting that Vitaphone also tested out a new innovation in their shorts as well--Three Color Technicolor. While there were earlier color systems (such as Cinecolor and Two Color Technicolor), they weren't true color but were made with a more primitive system where a blue-green and an orange-red strip overlapped the black and white strip. The colors, not surprisingly, tended to look very orange and green! With three strip, three different color strips overlapped the black & white strip...and resulted in vivid color. The only problems were that the films needed A LOT of lighting to make the picture look good and not too dark. And, the colors in the earlier versions of this system tended to look very over-saturated--with colors so intense it almost looked better than real life!

    Technically "Changing of the Guard" is a good film. The acting and singing and costumes are all very nice. So why did I hate this short so much? Well, a lot of it is due to Hollywood's infatuation with colonialism in the 1930s and 40s. Again and again, films like "Gunga Din", "Lives of a Bengal Lancer" and "Wee Willie Winkie" espoused the notion that imperialism is mega-cool and questioning the morality of it in any way was ridiculous. The locals were simply stupid and sub- human and needed subjugation!! And in this one, the Boer War was simply to subjugate the naughty Boers (the Dutch settlers in South Africa). Never mind the many atrocities the British committed...and none of this is show in the short. It's all rah, rah, rah for the wonderful Brits. Yuck. But what also bothered me was the super-adorable Sybil Jason (ironically, born in South Africa). Because Miss Jason is dead, I don't feel so bad saying that the child she often portrayed on the screen was TOO perfect, TOO cute...almost to the point where you wondered if some mad scientist created her and she was secretly the embodiment of all that is evil!! I find her cutesy routine and amazingly adult screen presence ultra-creepy...much, much more than the more believable sort of characters played by Shirley Temple...not that she was all that human either! Too perfect...too talented...too strange. Overall, I didn't like the film BUT still give it a 4 for technical prowess. It is certainly a lovely looking picture.

    Technicolor is at Least Good

    Changing of the Guard (1936)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    On New Year's Eve a young girl (Sybil Jason) asks her grandfather (Halliwell Hobbes) about the picture of him in a military outfit. The elderly man then tells her about his days in the military before the young girl dreams about being at Buckingham Palace. This Warner short isn't going to win any awards and it's certainly poorly written but there's no question that the only reason this thing was made was to show off the new Technicolor. The new color process is certainly the highlight here as you can't help but wonder what those people who saw this in 1936 must have thought. There's no question the quality isn't the greatest by today's standards nor by the standards of where the process would be at in just a few years. The actual story I found to be rather weak, uninvolved and at times boring. We've seen this type of thing before in countless films and this one here really doesn't do much with it. I'm sure fans of Jason will want to check this out as she does a dance towards the end of the movie but I must admit that I wasn't bowled over by it.

    Nice blend of early Technicolor and music

    How strange to find a Technicolor short from 1936, especially one telling a story. The reds are gorgeous from the Colonel's formal dress to the flowers that contain reds and pinks and are surrounded with nice greens. The maroon of the grandfather's robe is quite amazing as I find that this is a difficult color to find in early movies and they do it so well here. The blues from dark to light are scrumptious and the cornflower blue of Sybil's bathrobe and even the blue of her eyes stand out quite amazingly.

    Sybil Jason is quite delightful in this short. She rarely got to stand out in a leading role and here she gets to sing of "The Changing of the Guard" and does it wonderfully. She also gets to tap dance with a regiment of beautiful guards. I'm pretty sure that Buckingham Palace never got to see such a delightful sight as these dancing ladies. And lets not forget the bagpipe regiment, the singing of "Annie Laurie" and "Auld Lang Syne".

    A delightful short and one that I would recommend to anyone interested in early Technicolor.

    Sybil Changes The Guard

    Watching Changing Of The Guard after over 70 years it's fairly obvious that Jack Warner was trying to build Sybil Jason into another Shirley Temple. He would have been better advised to have concentrated on making her the first Sybil Jason.

    The short subject consists of Sybil visiting her grandfather who was a colonel in a Highland Regiment back in the Boer War days. The Colonel is Halliwell Hobbes and he reminisces about his farewell dinner with his officers where we get to see and hear Gordon Hart and future Sky King, Kirby Grant, treat us with some old Scottish airs.

    Then afterwards Jason falls asleep where she imagines herself in the regiment and she leads a group of dancing grenadiers in the title song of the short subject.

    It's not that it isn't well done, it most certainly is, but you would think that Warner might have tried for some original material rather than copy what Darryl Zanuck was doing at Fox. But that's what they did back in the day.

    The Screen Test

    Halliwell Hobbes talks to Sybil Jason about his retirement as colonel of a Scots regiment. Then she dreams of the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

    It's one of the 3-strip Technicolor shorts that Warner Brothers did in the 1930s, beautiful exhibition of the technology's ability to reproduce colors. It was also intended as a screen test for Miss Jason. Everyone wanted a child star like Shirley Temple. Warners hoped that Miss Jason wold be theirs. She's cute, she sings well, she photographs well in medium and long shot..... but somehow it wasn't enough.
