This movie was made more than 90 years ago, and everyone in it is most likely dead (including the children in this scene), but the quality and the colors might make some people think it's newer. This movie was made with red and green technicolor, and blue won't be introduced in technicolor until 3 years later. The song is very great as well, Happy Feet too.
>everyone in it is most likely dead (including the children in this scene) Yes, indeed! But their great talents and good appearences will be kept in this movie forever just like a time capsule. All of them will live in films eternally.
Kind of interesting, too, how the moment is just innocent and sweet in an era when it seems like every black person ever shown on the screen was shown as a joke or in some demeaning manner. Have to wonder how the south, etc., reacted, but then it's brief enough that it could be clipped.
I'm not entirely sure now that you mention it, I see it as a playful joke like with the reveal of a little girl inside the tuba since every player in the band is seen with a partner during that part of the song. The way they act definitely seems to play more into more of a cute moment when she mischievously pinches his cheek.
These little girls must be either dead or really old by now, that's how old this color movie is. This scene is in great quality and the colors are very realistic. The same can be said for the full Happy Feet scene (the one with both the complete giant dancing girl scene and the Paul Whiteman dance, i'm pretty sure the title is "King of Jazz - Happy Feet [1930]"). I've also seen the "Sweetheart, We Need Each Other" scene from 1929's Rio Rita, which is in very similar quality. Compare them to the Red Hot Rhythm number from 1929. You can see a lot of difference in the quality. This color movie was made 9 years before Gone With The Wind and The Wizard of Oz, and it was made 3 years after the first 'talkie'. This movie only had red and green, which most color movies had until blue was added in 3-5 years later. You could watch 1934's Service With A Smile, which is one of the first movies and short films with 3-color technicolor. If you want to see something in great quality, watch the Hot Lips video with the woman in the thumbnail, it's from a 1935 short film. I've seen a lot of these scenes on TH-cam.
This is true slay. The future looks bleak but here's hoping this invigorated era reinspires us achieve such great heights. ...Crossing my fingers that was an actual Black girl and not super thorough blackface near the end. 😭

This song is my life 🧬
This is really incredible stuff! Almost 100 years ago!

No big deal. Eventually, EVERYONE in the pictures will be dead. But that is the magic of movies. Eternal life on film.
Really enjoy Lang's guitar on this.
The little girl on Paul Whiteman's lap at the end is the last word in cute.

Headshot. Thank you!
The singing part: 0:19
What did the part near the end with the guy and the little girl on the park bench mean?

Well, in the first place, "the guy" is Paul Whiteman.
