Today's film short is called "Smoke Rings" and stars Glen Gray and His Casa Loma Orchestra. It was released in July of 1943 by Universal Studios and features vocal performances from Pee Wee Hunt, The Pied Pipers and Eugenie Baird.
The Casa Loma Orchestra formed in 1929. When Eugenie Baird was hired on as a lead female vocalist in the 1940's, it marked the first time a female vocalist was featured in the band.
This is a great film and is filed with energy and fantastic music! Songs included: "Can't Get Stuff in Your Cuff," "That's My Affair" and "Little Man with the Hammer" and more.
Please excuse the time strip on the bottom of the film. I found this on the Periscope Film Youtube Channel. If you haven't visited that channel yet, it's a fun place to find some of this old footage.
Enjoy!
