Eddie does the entire 13 minutes in blackface, in this VERY rare film..it provides a good feel of how a Ziegfeld small stage show would appear, something not otherwise documented in sound film.
As far as I can ascertain, this was mastered as NTSC 24fps, then sped up to 25FPS PAL, then converted back to NTSC 29.97 via standard video conversion rather than slowing down. That's why there's jerkiness when I tried to IVTC for YouTube's 24fps standard. I did the best I could.
