Featured review
song and dance short
Train station attendants gather to raise money for a disabled brother. Others join in. This a singing and dancing short with a group of negro performers. The most interesting is tap dancing that evolves into something akin to break-dancing. It's too bad that i don't know any of these performers. Cinema owes it to them to make them into real stars. Small's Paradise should be much better known.
