I'm so in love with this clip. I used a version of it on my Ginger Rogers Tumblr page. Just when you think you've seen the lovely Virginia Katherine at her most adorable, then a clip like this turns up. She had to have been about 20 or 21 when this was filmed. Incredible how her talented, beautiful and charismatic Ginger was at such a young age. Just wonderful!

Ginger wrote the lyrics to the song and had it put to music. This is preAstaire and it looks like to me she could dance a mean dance without him. The clip also gives you some insight into her teasing and humorous side. If you buy the DVD "The Best of Big Bands and Swing", it has Ginger's short film "Office Blues".

I think this video is great! It's so nice to see Ginger's talent in the early thirties without fred. She was a talented dancer.

Love this SO much! Ginger in the early years...such a delight to see and hear!😁 Look at her do The Charleston! Boy, could she Swing it!😉 My thanks for posting this great treasure!💖

I enjoy reading your comments, also. It is nice to fine others who share my obsession with Ginger. She is number one in my book. I wish I knew how to upload a video but then it is so hard to find the right music. She is such a special lady.

Ginger wrote this song about Fred Astaire it was called were is the boy who used to be you Ginger met Fred in 1930 and went out with him till she moved into movies they worked together in flying down to Rio 1933

Paramount put out many short films in the "Hollywood On Parade" series. Not to be confused with the 1930 musical film revue "Paramount On Parade"

I think she says "how do'ya like that"

anyone have any clue what Ginger mumbles after Jack takes back his hat? It prompts the presenter to say that he hopes none of us can lip read, so now I'm dying to know what she said!

Wait! What does she mouth to the audience? I am not a very good lip-reader....
