Subject: Need Help Identifying Film
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!
