Vintage Black Musical Video Downloads - Nicholas Brothers, Adelaide Hall, 3 Whippets, Eunice Wilson & the Five Racketeers
I've been adding more things to watch in the MoreThings video section, specifically some vintage 1930s black musicals. My big prize there so far is the complete and totally awesome 21 minute 1933 Rufus Jones for President, starring 7 year old Sammy Davis Jr.

I also have now the 11 minute 1935 one-reeler An All-Colored Vaudeville Show. The prime point of interest here is the dancing of the legendary Nicholas Brothers, Fayard and Harold - who would have been 13 or 14 years old. This was eight years before their performance in Stormy Weather, considered by Gregory Hines and Fred Astaire among others to be the greatest tap dancing ever put on film.

Also though, this film has three other groovy performances by folks previously unknown to me. The 3 Whippets were awesomely athletic in their opening dance set, nearly as impressive as the Nicholas Brothers at this early juncture.

Adelaide Hall was the billed co-star, along with the Nicholas Brothers. She wasn't as athletic as these fellows, but she gave some particularly classy singing and stepppin'.

The big finale was a song from Eunice Wilson, back by the Five Racketeers. The best part though, was the climax where she left the Racketeers to do jam on the "Tiger Rag." The drummer was particularly getting him some, pounding away at the floor and the walls and everything on the stage. Good times.

I've got full video and still pictures for all this. You can grab the WHOLE THING as an 11 minute, 110 mb mpg, or any of the four parts separately.
