Jazz singing.
Twelve musicians with the usual Jazz repertoire and some quartet harmonizing interpolated.' The opening finds them seated in a semi-circle, minstrel fashion. The four men on the extreme right are faking it on stringed instruments. They are the quartet and also inject single dancing specialties. The leader is the only one in uniform. He does a specialty on a trick violin and later plays some stunt overhead, behind back, etc., on a regular fiddle. The men are fair musicians and the vocal and dancing efforts got over. This with their war records ought to assure them of small time booking. They can't expect more.
