Jay C. Flippen way before he became a respected character actor served as emcee for this Vitagraph short featuring several radio personalities of the day, including the brothers Lombardo and Baby Rose Marie.
The setting was a pool party where all these people were on an alleged vacation. It was interesting to see Guy Lombardo and his brothers on a yacht, Guy in his off hours was known as quite the yachtsman. And the voice of who later became Sally Rogers is unmistakable even as a child. Johnny Marvin who was the vocalist for the Guy Lombardo Orchestra got into the act with a number.
Flippen looked quite a bit different, not a speck of gray on his head, unlike how I remember him from later films. Still his voice and jovial manner are also unmistakable.
This was a pleasant look back to some performers not often seen any more.
