Tremaine originally came from Kansas City. As well as singing, he played the fast tricky alto sax and clarinet on his recordings. The jazz-spiritual novelties were pretty successful for Paul, and inspired the very swinging Joe Haymes band in the early 30s. The packaging you do really enhances the music and you're right - even grandma doesn't remember. (Well, my grandma would have, but she'd have been 112 this year.)
AFAIK Paul Tremaine, a child prodigy, had it tough in the Thirties. Reckoned among the top bandleaders when still very young, he faded from the national scene and no longer broadcast regularly. When WW2 broke out, he enlisted in the Army, was commissioned and was said to be planning to stay on after it ended, as a military band organizer.
Much of Paul's success came from partnering with his father. Robert Tremaine was a skilled musician and promoter who built the band into a national name during the '20s. When he died in 1930, Paul was left trading on past glories, then began to languish.
@@RatPfink66 Yes, I understand he was a music critic on the KC Star, which must have given young Paul an edge when that monstro clear-channel station set up (before Herbert Hoover introduced licensing and forced it to retrench).
This is a treasure to be protected for future generations! Hollywood would never ever do anything like this ever again! Unless it was to denigrate heaven and eulogize hell!
You're so out of touch, do you think this is supposed to be a pious song? People were drinking illegal booze and snorting coke to this music. Keep your christian wonderland fantasies of the past to your crotchety baby boomer self.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Avi Arturo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Awesome!!!!!!! I'm sure bands welcomed the new sound on film in latter 1928 so these short films would give them more national exposure. Nice to see a slice of the roaring 20s in sound before the Depression came.
Absolutely spectacular !!! Played it at least 12 times today! Never knew a "soundie" was made so early! And 2 strip Technicolor no less! One of the best Hot Jazz I have heard! Thank You So much!
I think the devil scenes are from C.B. DeMille's Horror-Musical spectacular "MADAME SATAN!" "MADAME SATAN!" "MADAME SATAN!" Back in the days of the Charleston, most all of the Modern Ladies' "Decks were CLEARED for ACTION!!" and helping with this positive delight also, was that they were "Foot-loose and fancy-free" too, so the descriptive tune went. (The Foot-loose part of course referring to their constant Charleston dancing 'till dropping and the other, well, here it might better be left to the imagination, as to any likely meaning.) The Twenties truly were days of freedom and merriment, why even the Newsboys were buying-and-selling stocks! These award-winning productions of 2reeler's serve to firmly and colorfully and forever underscore that reality of so long ago, the time even of when our own President Calvin Coolidge said: "The business of America . . . IS BUSINESS!" as well as "Vo-Do-Dodio-Do!" . : .
The scenes before that were from " Night World", Universal 1932, Mae Clarke, Boris Karloff ( as a sleazy nightclub owner), Dorothy Revier, Russell Hopton, and George Raft. And Clarence Muse, Louis Beavers , and Bert Roach for comic relief. Terrific movie. Or was a clip from this Soundie pasted into "Night World"?
@@gregorypalmer5403 Thanks for clearing that up. I just grabbed at M-S because so much of the strange appeared in it. Wasn't that an early C.B. Demille production? . : .
@@jamesmiller4184 Yes, that's right. I adore that oddity called Madam Satan! It's over the top! The color scenes in this devilishly good video came from MGM who filmed the giant devil head scene for a film that they scrapped, to be called "The March of Time". MGM took the amazing devil's head number ( which is a ballet) and put it in a snappy two-color short called "The Devil's Caberet". It has been shown (unedited) on Turner Classic Movies and is a jazz-age riot of fun!
@@gregorypalmer5403 You are so right! Night World is a terrific movie! Lew Ayres was perfectly cast for that role ( unlike Iron man) and Hedda Hopper had a nice part , though a villanesque character. The Buzby Berkeley routine is a delight and the delicious score by Alfred Newman is full of musical elements from his Broadway hit, "Street Scene." The show that made him famous as a Gershwin-like composer and a Hollywood grab! You are right again! All the alcohol scenes in this soundie came from "Night World. "
Mr. 2reeler, you did a wonderful, wonderful job of piecing together these film elements into a highly entertaining visual for all the Flaming Youths who like this new rhythm, jazz! Thank you for your hard work. (Do I see a few seconds from the "Dust" number in "Children of Pleasure" (1930)?)
Ah, yes, they just don't make movies like they used to, do they. I am a new ukulele player and I discovered that lots of those old songs are available on pdf images of the original sheet music including their cover art, collected and scanned by a Canadian fellow named Ian Chadwick. They have piano arrangements and in the 1920's and 1930's all of the sheet music had the ukulele chords too. If you'd like to capture those good old songs, go to www.vintageukemusic.com/index.htm .
dutrekker1617 I guess it was a minor mistake on the youtube video editor's behalf. He must've found the footage appealing and decided to place it on the video
Speakeasy’s! My Great Grandparents ran one! After repeal (and into the depression) they lost it. I had heard a story that my Great Grandfather had saved some men when a ship blew up in Baltimore Harbor, and was given a substantial reward for doing so which enabled them to buy the small rooming house they ran which they converted into a “Speak”!

Tremendously clear offering for it's age: great!
Amazing jazz video
Great.
An understatement! Mind blowing, monumental, epochal....... serious stuff!
Outstanding!

You make such great vids Biff, thanks for sharing this
Bob,aren't these videos Great?
Brain needed again. Thanks.
Hay, Biff! What a devilishious and HEAVENLY video indeed!
Bobby Roy,I told you this 2Reeler is the BEST
How did Janette miss this one!
Thanks again.
OMG! Great!Terrific!
Biff,These are GREAT,even got Aaron1912 beat.
Tremaine sort of looks like another great singer of the day: Lawrence Tibbet
Thanks.
Four Four Rhythm
Thanjks again.

The Hades part is very reminiscent of the recent tunnel grand opening in Switzerland...
That Was GREAT, I really enjoyed it. Could you do that with Paul Tremaine's " Rockin' Chair (Carmichael)on Columbia Viva-Tonal 2200D?
@Xxkissmysass19xX
It's Four Four Rhythm by Paul Tremaine and his Aristocrats
It would be nice if we actually saw the original film fully. Not to say that this editing isn't great by itself.
what is the name of the font? i'm doing a project for history on the roaring 20s and would love to use it! thanks :x
Does Paul Tremaine ever smile?
I get that it's a montage but was there a real Tremaine soundie of the tune at base, and/or was this a transcription for radio?
If this is from 1929, how was the restaurant serving beer? Prohibition was not repealed until 1933.
dutrekker1617 I guess it was a minor mistake on the youtube video editor's behalf. He must've found the footage appealing and decided to place it on the video
Nevermind, it's a speakeasy, so they served alcohol illegally
Speakeasy’s! My Great Grandparents ran one! After repeal (and into the depression) they lost it. I had heard a story that my Great Grandfather had saved some men when a ship blew up in Baltimore Harbor, and was given a substantial reward for doing so which enabled them to buy the small rooming house they ran which they converted into a “Speak”!
