Certainly a sign of the times is how music (especially vocals) have changed since the '30s. The style of singing here isn't about to endear anyone who is more in tune to today's bands and vocalists.
Nevertheless, it's a curio from 1932 with a very young J.C. FLIPPEN acting as master of ceremonies, poolside, and encouraging heavy-set singer TESS GARDELLA (Aunt Jemima) to sing "I Ain't Got Nobody" while he makes a weak joke about the over-sized body she has.
It's a very primitive musical short, with a tenor who is barely bearable to listen to, singing to little BABY ROSE MARIE who is equally obnoxious. It's hard to tell what she's singing about, the sound is that bad.
Finally, there's some nonsense about the four Lombardo brothers and a yacht and then, mercifully, the short is over.
Summing up: Not worth a peek.
