Featured review
The Band Beautiful was another Vitaphone short I highly enjoyed on The Jazz Singer DVD
This was another musical short from the Vitaphone division of Warner Bros. I discovered on The Jazz Singer DVD. It starred an all-female band called The Ingenues playing various instruments with many playing the banjos and harmonicas. They also sang the Irving Berlin number "Shaking the Blues Away" though their voices weren't very clear next to the loud instruments playing. They also played "Tiger Rag" which is very well-known here as the theme of the LSU Tigers' football and basketball teams. I really enjoyed this one and since this review needs ten lines for submission, I'll also say there hasn't been a Vitaphone short included in the disc I haven't enjoyed yet. So on that note, I highly recommend The Band Beautiful.
