Lillian Roth, 1934
Here's a bit from Story Conference (1934), a far better Vitaphone musical short than the one I posted a couple of days ago. This peppy production number stars the fabulous singer-dancer-comedienne Lillian Roth as "Little Alimony Sal".
Seen her in Animal Crackers? I take it she was the first musical star to come clean about alcoholism, in her memoir I'll Cry Tomorrow (made into a bio pic). I guess it goes to show that the ones who look like they're really having such a good time aren't---
