Second Rank Acts

When a singer cannot perform at the party because his piano player hasn't shown up, various acts fill in.

It's one of those variety shorts that were popular in the 1930s, with a framework of a story to explain why they were appearing. Such shorts were popular in the era, allowing smaller houses to have the sort of acts that in movie palaces would be provided by live entertainment. Here we have the Cabin Kids, five young Black singers performing a couple of songs, as well as the Pope Sisters and the Six Musical Mountaineers with one song each.

If, like me, you have never heard of these groups outside of their appearances in a few of the Educational Pictures shorts, you won't be surprised. They're all right.
