Tall, balding, 28-year-old Roy Fox and his orchestra play three songs at "The Vitaphone Studios", with occasional breaks to show a man and woman listening to them on the radio. The only interesting one is a light dance version of "Louisiana".
Fox had been playing professionally since the age of 11, most notably with Abe Lyman's band. He seems to have arrived at the title of "the whispering cornetist" by playing with a mute in his instrument. When he does, it sounds syrupy to my ears.
