The Opry House (II) (1929)
5/10
A little down home theater
24 November 2018
The Opry House is one of Warner Brothers earliest Vitagraph shorts and I doubt it got much play in New York City or the west coast. But in what would become red state America this short subject no doubt played a lot of theaters newly equipped for sound.

An act called the Mound City Blowers gives us a selection of songs from the era and from further back. I doubt the act ever played the palace, but I'm sure they were featured at the Rheinman auditorium where the Grand Old Opry would be playing.

A nice piece of nostalgia.
