Made in 1934 as another Technicolor screen test for this sublime technology, this vaudeville kids show short, 21 mins, is invaluable, an antique treasure of the highest value for any family and every student of early talkies... in color! A simple and effective story of the kid saving dad's rundown vaudeville theater by staging a kids review, SHOWKIDS is as effervescent and candy-box as you or your family could imagine. Students of 30s art deco set design should have a copy and just marvel and learn from the backdrops and stage scenery alone. Cramming a toy-box of acts and laughs into so short a time + heartwarming and charming drama with hilarious and astonishing dance acts, satire, an adagio dance (!), tap dancing, gymnastics and some of the tiniest kids I have ever seen and heard perform ever... SHOWKIDS is a full rainbow of golden light from a more innocent age that celebrated hilarious tiny tots and their bigger friends and family in a cornucopia of long lost stage visuals and great klunky Vitaphone sound. You will find this treat on the WB DVD for The Gay Divorcée which also includes A Night At the Cocoanut Grove also in color from 1934 making it a DVD of the highest importance for fans of art deco color treasures.
