The Cocoanut Grove was a nightclub inside the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. It featured lavish exotic décor and was open between 1921 and 1989. (Wikipedia)
Featured in this colorful short film were Leo Carrillo (master of ceremonies), Ted Fio Rito's Orchestra, Eduardo Durant's Rhumba Band, models Fanchon and the Marco Girls, Candy Candido, Bing Crosby, Mary Pickford and many others.

Mary Pickford is gorgeous
What do you know? Leo Carrillo, who usually plays a character who speaks with a comic Latin accent, can speak perfect English!
Look for the great comedian Lloyd Hamilton (in what I believe is his final filmed appearance) as the guy in the top hat in the Hawaiian scene at 17:57.
The historical gowns are from MGM epics, and the historical details in the narration completely screw up the historical details. The "middle ages" ("medieval" period) ended in the 1500s. The gowns shown are actually 1700s style. They appear to be from "Marie Antoinette" and "Katherine the Great". NOBODY said, "I love my wife, but oh you kid!" in the Gay 90s. That expression came along in the 1920s.
Hey pianopappy, do you have anymore Austin City Limits?👍

working on Dr. John, Season 18, 1993, Cody. However, there's some hum in the soundtrack, and it's not in stereo. Only two songs from Dr. John's set are presently on KZread.
Whats the name of the song in the intro and outro?

Don't know, Professor. I know the tunes of the swing bands of the Thirties much better than those of the "sweet" bands.

@@pianopappy for some reason. I find film songs from the 30’s more peaceful and with a beautiful sound to it. What type of genre are 1930’s film songs?
