Released in December 1934, this is MGM's first successful use of the three-strip Technicolor process. As such, it is also the first appearance of Tanner the Lion in the company's trademark; though a bit cantankerous here, he would serve MGM for 22 more years. The film begins in the Cocoanut Grove ballroom of Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel (future site, sadly, of Robert Kennedy's 1968 assassination), as Ted Fio Rito and his Orchestra perform dance music, and master of ceremonies Leo Carillo (best known for his television portrayal of the Cisco Kid's comic sidekick, Pancho) makes his way to the mic - after unceremoniously bumping "Swedish" comic El Brendel from his table. Carillo then points out some of the stars in attendance, including Arline Judge (who flirts with him), Jack Oakie (who's otherwise occupied) and tablemates Richard Cromwell and Gary Cooper (whose appearance together only fueled the already-rampant rumors of a gay affair - indeed, Cooper appears less than delighted...

Master of ceremonies Leo Carillo introduces, at great length, vocalist Johnny "Candy" Candido, who is hiding under Ted Fio Rito's piano. Candido then puts on display his stock-in-trade, his zillion-octave voice, in a gut-ripping, sinus-shattering rendition of "She's Way Up Thar", which is almost as painful to imagine as it is to hear. After this (and a brief comic interlude with El Brendel), Carillo presents Eduardo Durant's Rhumba Band and dance team Kirby and DeGaye (who would appear in the Oscar-nominated short "La Fiesta de Santa Barbara" the following year), who, in Carillo's words, "whirl us away to the land of good Havana...cigars" with a spirited salsa that closes this segment.

Inv. nr. AB7026-A-B, afkomstig uit de schenking van mr. Pieter Cleveringa, 1986 De assemblage Stone and Feather (1981) van Marinus Boezem toont een extreme tegenstelling tussen materialen en gedrag. De marmeren steen klemt de struisvogelveer vast. De veer komt bij het kleinste zuchtje wind al in beweging en vertegenwoordigt zo het vliegen,ofwel: het dynamische. De steen blijft door zijn gewicht aan de aarde gekluisterd en beeldt daar-door het tegenovergestelde uit: het statische. Boezem gebruikte deze zelfde tegenstelling eind jaren zeventig ook voor een monumentaal beeld aan de Maasvlakte, waarbij een zwerfkei op een omhoog gebogen trapeziumvormige stalen plaat rust. Het lijkt alsof de plaat door de wind wordt opgewaaid. De zware kei biedt tegenwicht en houdt de plaat op zijn plaats. Boezems oeuvre ontwikkelde zich in een periode van vijftig jaar van grensverleggende ideeën tot sculpturen en ruimtelijke installaties. Zijn ideeënkunst heeft grote invloed gehad op de...

Victor Young (August 8, 1900 - November 10, 1956) was an American composer, arranger, violinist and conductor. He was born in Chicago. Young began as a classical composer and concert violinist but moved into the popular music sphere when he joined Ted Fio Rito's orchestra. In the mid-1930s he moved to Hollywood where he concentrated on films, recordings of light music and providing backing for popular singers, including Bing Crosby. Young was signed to Brunswick in 1931 where his studio groups recorded scores of popular dance music, waltzes and semi-classics through 1934. His studio groups often contained some of the best jazz musicians in New York, including Bunny Berigan, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Joe Venuti, Arthur Schutt, Eddie Lang, and others. He used first-rate vocalists, including Paul Small, Dick Robertson, Smith Ballew, Helen Rowland, Frank Munn, The Boswell Sisters, Lee Wiley and others. One of his most interesting recordings was the January 22, 1932 session...

Song - The Continental (from The Gay Divorcee (1934)Directed by Mark Sandrich. With Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Alice Brady. The Continental (Con Conrad/Herb Magidson) Beautiful music... Dangerous rhythm... It's something daring, The Continental, A way of dancing that's really 'entre nous'. It's very subtle, The Continental, Because it does what you want it to do. It has a passion, The Continental, An invitation to moonlight and romance. It's quite the fashion, The Continental, Because you tell of your love while you dance. Your lips whisper so tenderly. Her eyes answer your song. Two bodies swaying, The Continental, And you are saying just what you're dreaming of. So keep on dancing, The Continental, For it's a song of romance and of love. You kiss while you're dancing. ..............(Not a bad idea)......... The Continental, hmmmmm. It's continental. You sing while you're dancing. Your voice is gentle and sentimental. You stroll together arm in arm. You nonchalantly glide...
