Here's one of those shorts that Hollywood in general and in this case, Warner Brothers in particular, produced to tell audiences how wonderful it was. Robert Arthur, dressed like a bellhop, wanders through the studio to sing little introductions to to clips from half a dozen of the studio's Technicolor and musical sequences, chosen from movies produced from 1935 through 1939.
Warners did a bunch of these compilation shorts in the post-war years. They were economical to produce, since they used a lot of old footage, filled the catalogue with shorts for those theaters which ran full feature-and-selected-shorts programs and touted the expertise, hard work, and expense of producing these movies.
