Louis Jordan and his group play "Caldonia,", "Honey Child," "Tillie" and "Buzz Me" in this two-reel short.
Actually, I didn't see the entire short. The four songs were chopped up for "soundies", very short films that covered a song, and were available for a variety of sources, often used in bars, like a juke box with pictures. The one I looked at was "Caldonia", and it was a pleasure to see Jordan and 'Doc' Cheatham. Cab Calloway is supposed to have been in this, but he must have appeared in one of the other songs.
