It Seems To Be Spring From Let's Go Native (1930). That Movie Survives.

It Seems to Be Spring from Let's Go Native (1930). That movie survives.

I think this is an excerpt from a larger work. Read it, it is very... seductive I shall say. The descriptions reminds me of a pastel hued early talkie, except less frivolous.

We Two (1927) from Golden Dawn. More singing, less band, please, but it's a darn catchy song.

Songs from Rio Rita- The Silken Shawl

And you have room for me?

Beneath your silken shawl.

Would you like company?

My little sun-kissed doll.

And what is your objection,

To moonlight and the palms?

I'm rapped in your affection,

So rap me up in your arms.

And what could be so fair,

With you so close to me.

Oh what a happy pair,

Oh what a world it t'would be.

So if you really care,

I'm at your beck and call.

If you have room for me,

Beneath your silken shawl.

Nobody Knows but Rosie (But Oh! What Rosie Knows!)

From the lost film The Big Party (1930)

Intro 1:

Lovely ladies I adore;

Say was I rosy,

'till I met Rosie,

I found all I ask and more.

I mean affection,

and that direction.

Charming ladies,

I've admired,

It wasn't harmful to try an armful,

Found just all my heart desired.

It took a session,

for this impression.

Chorus

Nobody knows but rosie,

All the little "In's and out's" of love,

Ah, ah, ah, ah, are you aware?

Ah Ma! Yes Ma!

She's a girl who goes to business,

She's not a painted posy,

She's got this and that and if and those.

Isn't what she does that really matters so much,

Until she puts the "English" on her personal touch.

Nobody knows but Rosie,

But Oh! What Rosie knows.

Poster art: Batiste Madalena edition (via)

Up until the 1950s, many movie theaters rejected the mass-produced, lithographed film posters designed and distributed by Hollywood studios in favor of original, hand-painted posters created by local artists. 

During the 1920s, Batiste Madalena was the resident artist at the Eastman Theatre in Rochester, NY., where he designed and hand-painted about eight original posters per week. Madalena, who is considered the greatest poster painter of the period, was given full artistic control, with the only directive from his boss being that the posters had to be clearly visible to passengers on passing trolley cars.
