Miss Josephine Baker (1931)

Full titles read: "For years the name of the great coloured artist, Josephine Baker has flashed across the skies of Europe. Today, Pathetone presents a glimpse of her at a recent public function in Paris - Miss Josephine Baker - singing a little word of praise for her 'Paree'."
Paris, France.
M/S of Josephine Baker in an evening gown, kneeling on a small stage (it looks like a boxing ring) and singing a French song about Paris. People sitting around the stage watch her then cheer and applaud as she hits the final high note. She gets up, bows, then runs across the stage and down the steps.
(Followed by Pathetone end titles.)

This was the first performance clip I ever saw of Joséphine Baker and it was the beginning of a fascination and admiration on my part that has lasted for decades and continues unabated to this day.

She was better than I imagined when I first heard of her. She always seems to outperform expectations
