Re: Need Help Identifying Film



Let me amend my previous posting: that's definitely not a 20 year old Frank Sinatra dressed as a newsboy.

I picked up an original 16mm print of "Major Bowes' Amateurs: Musical Varieties", a short distributed by Commonwealth Pictures, New York. I need to know if this is the same as "Major Bowes' Amateur Theater of the Air" (1935) directed by John H. Auer, in which a very young Frank Sinatra sings a song. Does anyone happen to know if he sang "On the Sidewalks of New York" dressed as a newsboy? 
 
Other sequences in my print include a gentleman doing animal imitations, and a minstrel show.  
 
Thanks!
