Dixieland Jamboree

The Warners Shorts department, always ready when it came to making something new out of something old, took archive footage from two earlier Vitaphone shorts---"An All-Colored Vaudeville Show, 1935" and "Hi De Ho, 1937"---and came up with "Dixieland Jamboree" in 1946. "Archive footage" performers include Eunice Wilson, Adelaide Hall, the Five Racketeers, the 3 Whippets, the Nicholas Brothers (Fayard and Harold)and Cab Calloway.
