Ruby Keeler - 42nd Street
About to break into her tap-dancing sequence. Go Ruby!
Surviving film at this point must have been a bit grainy, hence the speckly image. Weird to contemplate just how long ago some of these films were made - this one's 74 years old. I remember watching the same year's "Gold Diggers of 1933" back in the '80's with my grandmother when it'll have been only 50 years old. Everyone in this film died of old age years ago. Contemplate yer mortality as you watch cute young Ruby clippety-clopping on the roof of the taxi.
