Freeman Lang was an extremely popular radio announcer in Los Angeles and Hollywood. He hosted many radio broadcasts if Hollywood movie premieres between 1925 and 1935. Lang also started station KRLO in 1927, which became KMPC on 710 in 1930. Lang also owned a Hollywood recording studio which made commercials and syndicated radio shows. Lang left Hollywood I'm the 1930s and spent the rest of his life in Hawaii.

Look at all those early talkie stars! My guess is this is an edited film reel of Hollywood premieres from 1929 & early 1930, perhaps one being the Sept. 12, 1929 premiere of "The Great Gabbo" starring Betty Compson and Eric von Stroheim. I see 00:11 The Brox Sisters from "Hollywood Revue" 00:19 Freeman Lang, announcer 00:23 Karl Dane from "Navy Blues" 00:50 H B Warner 01:03 Niles Astor 01:23 Sally Starr with 01:30 Robert Montgomery, both from "So this Is College" 01:35 Anita Page, from "Broadway Melody" 01:55 Joan Bennett 02:03 Norma Shearer from "Their Own Desire" 02:15 John Gilbert (did skit with Norma in Hollywood Revue) 2:25 Bebe Daniels from "Rio Rita" & husband Ben Lyon from "Hells Angels" 2:33 Nancy Welford, actress from "Golddiggers Of Broadway". 03:08 ventriloquist , the Great Waldo,(sic) spoofs "Gabbo" 03:12 Eric Von Stroheim from "The Great Gabbo" 03:16 Dorothy Sebastian from "Our Blushing Brides" 03:23 James Kirkwood, actor/husband of actress, Lila Lee (soon to divorce in '31) 03:33 Betty Compson from "The Great Gabbo'' 04:00 James Cruze, producer of "The Great Gabbo" at mic 04:23 Olive Borden from "Half Marriage", with escort George O'Brien 04:31 Janet Gaynor and 04:40 Charles Farrell from "Sunny Side Up'' 04:48 Louis Moran 05:22 Jack Holt 05:27 Joseph Schildkraut 05:35 Maurice Chevalier from "Innocents of Paris" 05:53 Nancy Carroll from "Sweetie" 06:05 Lylian Tashman & Edmond Lowe from "The Cockeyed World" 06:16 Joan Bennett from "Maybe This Is Love" (with suitor 06:20 Walter Wanger) 06:24 Norma Shearer, and with husband at 06:31 Irving Thalberg, MGM producer, & Norma 06:41 Harold Lloyd from "Welcome Danger" 06:46 Bessie Love from "Broadway Melody" 7:00 Ivan Lebedeff, from " Street Girl" 07:12 Jack Oakie from "Sweetie" 07:20 Georgie Stone hogs mic from Oakie 07:25 Buster Collier 07:30 Hoot Gibson 07:36 Gary Cooper (walking behind others) 07:39 Bessie Love 07:48 Warner Baxter from "In Old Arizona" 08:01 Lila Lee, from "Honky Tonk" 08:18 Burton Fitts, DA 08:26 Helene Chadwick 08:40 Olive Borden & 08:55 George O'Brien from "Noahs Ark" 09:00 Mary Brian from "The Marriage Playground" 09:08 Ivan Lebedeff from "Street Girl" 09:17 Jean Harlow (flash at left) 09:21 Lilyan Tashman gets speech from her purse & Edmund Lowe, (behind) 09:42 John Boles from "Rio Rita" 09:54 Bebe Daniels from "Rio Rita" and husband 10:07 Ben Lyon from "Hells Angels", then wife Bebe Daniels 10:20 Sally Eilers from "Broadway Babies" & husband Hoot Gibson 10:47 Bebe Daniels 10:50 Betty Compson from "Street Girl" 10:57 Fatty Arbuckle at left 11:19 Barbara Kent from "Welcome Danger" @ mic 11:22 Joe E Brown from "Painted Faces" 11:40 Ruby Keeler from Ziegfeld's "Show Girl" with her husband Al Jolson from "The Singing Fool' 11:52 William Bakewell 12:04 Ruth Chatterton from "Madame X" 12:16 Charles Sellon? and Mary Brian 12:19 Regis Toomey from "Alibi" 12:36 Norma Shearer from "Their Own Desire" 12:48 Clara Bow from "Saturday Night Kid" The other premiere clips edited in may be from an MGM talkie, as most of the stars seen are from MGM. Big Warner Brothers stars are also seen plus a few from Paramount studio, Fox & Radio Pictures. Two MGM actors seen here would commit suicide. John Gilbert in '34, & Karl Dane in '32.

I'm in my 40's and identified a handful of the stars. Thank you for taking the time to make your post for posterity!

@@dwsheffer Well, you are very welcome! Thanks for appreciating my contribution. I even identified a few that David Stenn didn't know!, Also did identifications on a second video but this has the best closeups. Glad you could name some of the stars too at your young age. !!

The bald-headed radio announcer seen mostly in the first half, adjusting the microphone for the stars was Freeman Lang. He was a freelance radio announcer, emcee and radio engineer. He

Need the names. I recognize some but not all. Karl Dane was one of them, right? I read he wound up selling hot dogs outside the MGM gate after the talkies began. I am not sure if he spoke English.

IF Clara bow is the last one, then the list above should be in order. I would think, although there are three ladies in the first shot, and they only list one. *Shrug*

Il manque Gloria Swanson la divine la magnifique la plus grande star du cinéma muet et qui fera des films parlants qui fera que ça carrière sera déclinante. Elle fera sont grand retour dans le boulevard du crépuscule de Billy Wilder qui montrera en gros plan le Hollywood dégueulace déjà à l époque. Le film a fait scandale vous imaginez dans les années 50 lors de la sorti du film sunset boulevard.

ya des gents ladan que je ne connai parce qu' ils sont pour certains des vedettes éphémères. Et ils en font du cinéma même quand ils tournent pas . A l époque laurel et Hardy qui eux des vrais stars du rires qui avaient un succè mondiales eux evitaient ce genre de représentation ridicule parce que eux quand les gents les voyaient c était l émeute. J aime les grands qui sont humble et discrets pour moi ça les places aux dessus de tout ces vaniteux.
