Extremely Entertaining Short
The Big Paraders (1929)
*** (out of 4)
"The Big Paraders," I'm guessing, get their name from the fact that the performers are quite heavy. The six-person act features one woman at the piano and then five different dancers who perform musical numbers, dances and various other acts. This short clocks in at just eight-minutes but it's certainly a lot of fun. I'm once again guessing that this act made their name on vaudeville by performing while being extremely heavy. This made their act all the more impressive because they certainly knew how to move whether it being keeping in step with each other or dancing around the stage. I was really impressed with their skill and there's no question that their act was a very entertaining one and one that would keep a smile on your face. The reason I love Vitaphone shorts can be found right here: This is the only film available of this team.
