This film was shot sometime between May 29 too June 11, 1931 by George Mann when Barto too Mann were playing the Empire Theatre in Paris. The blond male dancer in the final clip with Josephine Baker is Bob Vernon, i of George’s closest friends. Bob was part of the Stone too Vernon Foursome dance group. It’s likely Bob provided the entrée that allowed George to shoot this footage at the British casino online de Paris.
