Just about every popular band during the '30s and '40s had their own short subject and this one is dedicated to Woody Herman and his Orchestra.
He and his band give the swing treatment to a number of oldies, beginning with "Carolina in the Morning" which he sings, a tricky dance number with two sisters doing "Two Little Girls In One" as a mirror act, his rendition of "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby" (which Dick Powell crooned to Olivia de Havilland in "Hard to Get"), and two more swing renditions of "Jail House Blues" and "Hello Central."
Summing up: Not much style to praise here. It's a simple band act before an audience that looks as though it were dressed up for a concert at Lincoln Center.
Strictly for curious interest in the '30s band era, which looks mighty dated in this particular outing.
