And Bob Howard

Here's another of the baker's dozen of shorts that the Rhythm Kids starred in for Educational Pictures. They were five brothers and sisters who also appeared as a specialty act in a few features from 1935 through 1938. Here they are abetted by a couple of small children, one of whom plays an instrument and the other does a fast tap dance. This was the era of shirley temple, after all, and such acts were considered interested rather than child abuse.

There's also bob Howard on hand to play Fats Waller's "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie" as a hot piano tune. The Cabin Kids sing a couple of songs, including "Kentucky Moon Roll On."
