Prejudice

I've got some problems reviewing this short. I'm old enough to have seen Miss Picon in her native habitat: wowing them on Second Avenue in the Yiddish theater. Even though I never had enough Yiddish to curse anyone out, there was no doubt that this tiny trouper could hold the stage and the audience. To the rest of the world she was a character comedienne, available to sing sad songs with an Eastern European air. In her own world, now vanished, she was a queen, and there might be some men held in equal esteem (Moishe Oisher springs to mind). Among the ladies, not a one.

The stage is different from the movies, and the skills needed are different. This movie short doesn't show you Molly Picon. It shows you a burlesque of her. Still, it's the best that's available.

Nice Short

Molly Picon: The Celebrated Character Comedienne (1929)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

This early Vitaphone short gives you a chance to see Molly Picon doing a couple different songs with two different settings and two different backdrops. For the most part this here was a mildly entertaining short but at the same time there really wasn't anything here that jumped off the screen. The "performance" by Picon was decent enough as she would sing as well as "perform" the dialogue to the camera. A lot of these early Vitaphone shorts feature people who have long since been forgotten and a lot of times the only films they made were these shorts. That wasn't the case with Picon who had a long successful career so it's nice getting to see her towards the start of it, although she had been performing most of her life.

Not Bad, Not Great

Molly Picon performs a few songs in two different settings, the first a modern (for the time) setting singing "Temperamental Tillie" and the second a Jewish stereotype doing "Die Yiddishe Blues". She is cute enough and certainly a talented singer. This is a forgettable but pleasant musical short.

This film was shown at Capitolfest in 2017.
