is This THE NICHOLINI's? - Here could be a wonderful addition to Nicholasiana (aka "all things Nicholas Brothers"). it is a very little range referred to as "Lucky Number" that includes the boys once they are actually "boys"--this is either from their Vitaphone Short "Pie Pie Blackbird" (1932) or from "Big Broadcast of 1936." In alternative words, Fayard is either eighteen or twenty 2 years recent, and Harold is either eleven or fifteen years old! (He appearance eleven, though he forever had the baby-face issue happening.) Actually, the a lot of I study this, the a lot of obvious it's from 1932--the setting, the design of the arrangement and therefore the sheer youth of the 2 brothers. therefore is that this from the Vitaphone Short? I note on user comments on IMDB a mysterious mention of a second Vitaphone short that they presumably created round the same time as "Pie Pie Blackbird" however that doesn't seem in their IMDB filmography. may this be from that? Anybody who will clear this up, please be happy to try to to therefore...
One of the items the brothers did dance-wise that has become apparent to me in viewing these items on was to not dance quite in sync with every other--their moves throughout their numbers were similar however never entirely co-ordinated. This lends a sort of violent, jagged and nearly pop-art feel to the movement--in this clip they're a decent deal a lot of typical than in their later work, however still you'll see components of the faucet inferno that was to return during a few years. and tiny Harold is therefore friggin' cute, you would like to succeed in into the screen and provides him a pinch. Dig his spin at 2 minutes, 5 seconds
