Ben K. Blake went out his way to ensure that vaudeville wouldn't die, and his series of film shorts virtually guaranteed it would. This one features Reg Keyoe and his All-Girl Marimba Band, the three dancing Winters Sisters, and The Modernaires. And, Andy and Florence Mayo got into their two-piece costume and kept the career of Pansy the Dancing Horse alive.
An interesting & fun novelty act, Reg Kehoe & His Marimba Queens star in one of the simply marvelous soundie A Study in Brown (1944). The group really go to town on the marimbas, Reg the only guy with marimba putting himself center forward, surrounding himself like a Turkish sultan with babes pounding away on additional marimbas.
