    Originally released (for "home movie" use) as part of the Castle Films "Music Album", "Songs of the South"- available in their catalogs from 1946 through 1953. "The Dixiairs" were actually "The Men and Maids of Melody", featured in various "Soundies" of the early 1940's.

      Actually, only one person spoke, The man that introduced the dancers, He didn't have an accent. And I imagine many of those people in those clips were not southerners if these were produced In Hollywood (Castle Films was founded in California). But it'd sure be nice to think that at least 'some' of those girls were from down south. It would be interesting to know who some of those people were anyway. I always wonder what became of some of the extras you see in old music videos etc. Someone watching could say, "That's my great grandmother!"

    Searched Amazon for a book about Castle Films , found it, and one of the recommended related titles was "Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland"
    Just a coincidence based on my viewing history, I suspect. In any case, I learned that Castle issued 8 m m home viewing films, combining 3 previously made "soundies" -- so both the 1941 and 1946 dates may be correct, since the last song is the only one with a Roman numeral issue date. The 1940s Showboat style movies were almost the last gasp of the 1840s minstrel show racist blackface clowns and the fictionaldixie South of the sentimental "lost cause" romanticizers spread during the segregation years. Now it's all history to learn from. Maybe I will get that book!

    What's not to like? You got some pretty dancing girls, a few white guys in black face. Heck even the colored gals are very light skinned. I imagine in their ancestry some "southern gentleman" had his way with a winsome black lass and didn't mind a bit in selling off her children that he fathered. Apparently it wasn't cotton but the selling off of enslaved children that kept many a plantation solvent.

      These were soundies from 1941 repackaged as musical shorts in 1946. I recognize two of the African American women from Fats Waller soundies from 1941.
