- Early musical shorts such as this were made to be shown as filler for theater film programs. Because of this they were never widely seen. They frequently depicted subject matter that would be considered taboo in the ensuing Hays/Breen Code years, such as interracial romance. I initially thought this video was an example of this, until someone pointed out that the woman playing the porter's wife was Fredi Washington, a light-skinned black woman. Washington can be seen playing Duke Ellington's wife in another early soundie.
I've come across several songs and soundies from this era that revolved around the theme of the randy wife of an absent Pullman porter. It almost appears as though this scenario was as much a part of humor culture as the traveling salesman/farmer's daughter routine.
Now fire up your Homefire Radio and enjoy Cab and the gang!

His sister Blanche Calloway had a radio show in Miami. She looked the opposite of Cab Calloway and spoke of him all the time.

This is Ear Medicine 4 Sho👏🏾
@josephnathanscott Thanks for the insight about Fredi Washington, josephnathanscott. I had no idea who she was, but have since done some research. Seems she was frequently mistaken as being white (some say she was mulatto), and would sometimes darken her skin with makeup for "black" roles. Ironically, Cab has lightening makeup on for this role! I've updated this video's info to mention Washington's identity. Thanks again.
Good slap bass Man!
THAT FUCKING PASSION MAN!!!!!!!!!!!
cab calloways Bo is incredible and entertaining read it.
T.I 24s sample
Ou peut on trouver cette vidéo dans le commerce ? Et dommage il manque le début quand il y a le contrôleur qui l’appelle Mister Cab CALLOWAY!!!
This shit slaps
Happy Black History Month ❤

Silk pajamas.
Where can one find this song in HQ ?????
PLEH BOI
who is the baritone sax player?
what movie is this from?
Cab Calloway's Hi de Ho
Hi de hi
Ahead of his time but what is time really
I wish cab was still alive maybe born in 2018 and plays only jazz also is it wrong to say I wish he was older in this I'm not liking the younger version
I just watched Fredi in "Imitation of Life" yesterday and was blown away by her acting. I was surprised to discover she really was African-American. I can't believe they actually darkened her skin! Today, it would be akin to making Obama look blacker.
Black man with a white wife in the 30's?
