DEVILED HAMS.

(193? d. Milton Schwarzwald) Musical p.c. Nu-Atlas Productions.
l.p. Gus Van, Toy & Wing, Erskine Hawkins and his Orchestra.

Down in Hell, Satin conducts auditions. Following the title music, "Satan's Learning To Swing", comes Toy and Wing, a tap-dancing couple.

Following them is Erskine Hawkins and his Orchestra. Gus Van closes with "Old Rocking Chair" and "All God- Chillun Got Rhythm". This projected quite well at the convention earlier in the year.

The print is sharp, and on colour stock, so it has an 'amber' type look about it. Being an old item, there is some scratching on the master used, but collectors who bought it after the convention seem to be very happy with it.

One for lovers of the music of the 1930's, or perhaps those who like something a bit different.
