 | Arkansas Blues - Red McKenzie 1924
Red was the leader of the Mound City Blue Blowers, in which he played comb, kazoo, and sang. Later, he went on to play with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. While working as a bellhop in St. Louis he and some friends would get together and play on the street and he was "discovered" and taken to Chicago to record in 1924. The sensational novelty group, Red, Eddie Lang, Jack Bland and Dick Slevin had a million seller for Brunswick in"Arkansas Blues". This gave them an opportunity to perform in London, After his return to America, Red became active as a Jazz Promoter, more than as a Jazz musician. Red worked as a talent scout and set up the first Okeh Recording date for Beiderbecke, Eddie Lang and Frankie Trumbauer which featured the famous recording "Singing the Blues". In 1927, he promoted a Paramount Recording session at which a group of Chicagoans recorded the "Friar's Point Shuffle". In 1928, Okeh Records cut four sides with his group called McKenzie and Condon's Chicagoans.
In 1930 he recorded with a number of famous musician, Fats Waller, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Goodman, Bud Freeman. Eddie Condon and Josh Billings. He recorded Arkansas Blues again. Red was the equal of Jack Teagarden as a white jazz singer, of which there were only a few.
I have always loved this tune. See my youtube version:

 | An experimental recording in 1924 by
Thomas Alva Edison.
"La bella Cubana - habanera (1924)
"La Bella Cubana ? José White (composer)
José Silvestre de los Dolores White Lafitte (1835?1918) was such a fine violinist that
they called him 'el Paganini cubano' (the Cuban Paganini). José White, violinist and com?
poser, was an African?American Cuban, partly of Haitian background. He was such a fine
violinist, that he was compared favorably with his contemporaries Weinawski, Viewtemps,
and Ole Bull (a great Norwegian violinist). White was famous in Europe, especially in Paris,
and performed in New York and Boston as well on a Stradivarius violin. He was a friend of
the famous Afro?American musician Gottschalk of Louisiana. Despite the prejudices of the
times, José White was a student of and then an assistant to the great violin teacher Delphin
Alard in the 1860s at the Paris Conservatoire; he also married a French Countess.
José White wrote a lot of violin music, including a concerto for violin and the song
La Bella Cubana, which became his most famous work and the most popular Cuban song
after the National Anthem. The middle section of La Bella Cubana is a Cuban zapateado.
From about 1870 to the1970s his concerto was lost. Finally, it was found at the Paris Conser?
vatoire and was premiered first by Ruggiero Ricci, then by Aaron Rosand with the New
York Philharmonic, and then in 1976 by Maestro Luís Haza at Catholic University in Wash?
ington, D.C.. Maestro Luís Haza, who heard Rosand's concert, is a violinist in the National
Symphony Orchestra and is the conductor of the American Youth Philharmonic in Northern
Virginia. José White's Concerto, in the very difficult key of F# minor, has also been performed
by Alex Kerr, a concertmaster in Amsterdam. The Concerto, unfortunately out of print,
sounds like a combination of Paganini, Viewtemps, and Weinawski.
"La bella cubana", a Habanera, was originally written for two violins and piano."

 | Directed by Eric von Stronheim.
Running time approx. 4 hours.
Made in 1924.
The story of the making of the movie has become a Hollywood legend. Under the aegis of the Goldwyn studio, von Stroheim attempted to film a version of the book complete in every detail. To capture the authentic spirit of the story, he insisted on filming on location in San Francisco, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and Death Valley, despite harsh conditions.
The result was a final print of the film that was an astonishing ten hours in length, produced at a cost of over $500,000 ? an unheard of sum at that time (though Stroheim's 1921 film Foolish Wives was publicized by MGM as costing over a million) [1]. After screening the full-length film once to meet contractual obligations [2], Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the studio that acquired Goldwyn during production, forced von Stroheim to edit the film to a more manageable length, and, with the assistance of fellow director Rex Ingram and editor Grant Whytock, he reluctantly trimmed the film to about four hours. The film was then removed from von Stroheim's control and cut further, despite his protests. Even key characters were removed from the final version so that it could be screened in a reasonable time frame. Existing prints of Greed run at about two hours and twenty minutes. The hours of cut film were destroyed by a janitor cleaning a vault who thought they were not important film rolls and threw them in an incinerator (although it appears that much of it survived until at least the late 1950s), and this film is known as one of the most famous "lost films" in cinema history. The released version of the film was a box-office failure, and was fiercely panned by critics. In later years, even in its shortened form, it was recognized as one of the great realistic films of its time. Rare behind-the-scenes footage of Greed can be seen in the Goldwyn Pictures film Souls for Sale.
In 1999, Turner Entertainment (the film's current rights holder) decided to "recreate", as closely as possible, the original version by combining the existing footage with still photographs of the lost scenes, in accordance with an original continuity outline written by director Erich von Stroheim. This restoration runs almost four hours. The re-edit was produced by Rick Schmidlin. (Other classic films with missing footage include Orson Welles's The Magnificent Ambersons, Frank Capra's Lost Horizon, George Cukor's A Star Is Born and von Stroheim's Queen Kelly).
In 1991, this film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

 | Ornamental Gardens, Dawlish.
This extract comes from Claude Friese-Greene's 'The Open Road' - originally filmed in 1925/6 and now re-edited and digitally restored by the BFI National Archive. Britain seen in colour for the first time was heralded as a great technical advance for the cinema audience - now we can view a much improved image, but one which still stays true to the principles of the colour process.
The rather haphazard journey from Land's End to John O'Groats creates a series of moving picture postcards. Look out for shots containing the component colours - red and blue-green - such as when a little girl in a red coat and hat walks among peacocks in the grounds of a castle, and three girls with red curly hair pose by the sea at Torquay.
The car is a Vauxhall D-type - considered a sporty model at the time. A long-distance journey by car was a relatively new concept, with none of the amenities en route now taken for granted. The visit to a petrol station shows smoking on the forecourt: no health and safety issues back then! The travelogue ends with a series of recognisable London landmarks. Much remains the same - one major exception being the volume of traffic on the roads. (Jan Faull)
