Not Bad
Vaudeville Days (1942)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Warner Bros. short takes a look back at the Vaudeville days in a decade when many new movie goers might have forgotten or not known there was such a thing. This short, running just under twenty-minutes, takes a look at some of the forgotten acts such as Eddie Garr, The Fuddins, Rio Brothers and The Whirling Camerons. I'm not positive but some of the footage appears like it could have been lifted from previous films as the quality looks a lot different that other parts of the short. The narration is pretty good from start to finish and some nice information is told. The first half of the film is pretty much all recreated acts but they're still fun. The Jimmy Durante impersonator is pretty embarrassing though.
