Just watched this again and it's great.I said below that i have it on Edison NT and was mistaken,it was "Liza" by B.A. Rolfe.I do have the George Olsen version of "Mona".
shades 0f 1934 seeing minstrel shows here in the deep south just what they looked like a lot of singing and tap dancing era gone by the way./////////////////usa.
Good God! What a voice!
What a snappy tune and a great voice! I love this early style.
I wish there were better prints of these old movies.
I like the 'Leslie Stuart-esque' minstrel backing!. He belts this one out good and proper!. Love the band build up and the dancing.
Absolutely brilliant voice! Wow, just wow!
Yes, the George Olsen version is GREAT !
Real Nice clip from the period of the greatest music.I have "Mona" on here off an Edison needle type by B.A. Rolfe.
This looks as if it's from 1930's HAPPY DAYS - out there on youtube (in parts), Robert Smith
Who is the dancer at the end of the number ? Just fantastic

The vocal on the Victor recording of Mona is by Fran Frey and is great!
No, he was also a star of the early talkies.
Are his shorts on too tight? Jeeeeeeez!
Is he Frankie Vali before there were Four Seasons?
Most likely Tom Patricola
gilbert godfried??????
