Trixie Friganza was a vaudeville headliner who had a substantial career in silent films as well. Her career tapered off during the sound era, my guess would be because of health issues. Her last film was the Bing Crosby feature film If I Had My Way and a number of former vaudeville headliners did some small bits in that film because the storyline involved a family of performers.
In My Bag o' Trix she does a couple of delightful numbers, one of them accompanying herself on a bass fiddle. She was a full figured gal in the tradition of Sophie Tucker. Had a talk/singing style similar to her as well.
I'm glad this short subject was saved for the most part although the first few minutes are apparently lost forever.
