fiogf49gjkf0d Flapper Chorus Line with Ted Weems Orchestra
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK5r6EmKJyU
You know you've made the Big Time when you're leading a band that's accompanied with a chorus line of perky flappers. But then again, if you're Ted Weems in the late 1920's & early 1930's, this is the life of a famous radio bandleader.
Just another day at the beach on the Eastern Seaboard during the Jazz Age, perhaps in Coney Island or Atlantic City.

The song is called Cheer Up.
Research indicates that this was filmed at the Steel Pier, Atlantic City, NJ, July 17, 1930. The dames kickin' up a wind with their 'get-away sticks' are Norma Schutt's chorus girls.
