Quartet
Quartet by ~TwoStripTechnicolor on deviantART
Quoth the Deviant Art caption-
"...and if you see our dah-ling Neeeeliie! Please send her back to Shamokin, P-AAAAAA!!"
Here's an image that's lingered in my mind for quite a while. A quartet of old-timey singers that appeared briefly in the 1930 musical King Of Jazz (By which I mean, they were old timey in 1930). That's one that should be released on dvd soon... Bing Crosby's film debut... one of the few surviving all-Technicolor films of the era... cartoon segment by Walter Lantz... and swell music by Paul Whiteman's orchestra. Fun stuff.
And of course, this picture was finished in the films early Technicolor look.
