Take A Chance (1933)

I can't believe how weird that 'flashback' sequence is...

[@ZushiSD]

Thank s for sharing this !

[@wininboy]

Yep, a typical day in a ukulele player's life.

[@stepno]

Same 1933 film "Take a Chance" has a "Paper Moon" production number (with sword fight!, but no Ike & ukulele? ), and a clip of "New Deal Rhythm," a long number that was cut out and released separately. Both are on TH-cam. But those aren't Cliff Edwards numbers - any more singing & strumming by him from that film?

@songplugger
Probably Cliff Edwards himself!

[@NickTamila]

Anyone know the chords???

[@hoosierhiver]

@perfectjazz78 I'd guess Cliff wrote it but I'm not sure.

[@perfectjazz78]

My book doesn't tell me...
Anyone Know?
