This obscure band, a studio formation which seems to have been a subset of the California Ramblers, had its first session was January 25, 1928 and the last was September 20, 1929. This tune from the 1929 feature film "Applause", was sung by Ermine (sometimes credited as Hermine) Calloway, a vocalist of whom very little is known. According to the record publicity flyer shown in the first picture, she was "A vivacious singer of ‘baby vamp’ songs (...). She is a Texas product, a stage and radio star, and ‘radio’s only girl flyer.’ Be sure to hear her first record [Good Little, Bad Little You], full of embarrassing questions and naïve naughtiness. You’ll like her!" She was known to still be alive in the mid-1970’s. Further personnel included violinist Al Duffy, trumpeter Angie Rattiner, as well as, probably, but not for sure: Adrian Rollini and the Dorsey Brothers. In any case, this brilliant performance was recorded in 1929.
