"An average American family", the Middletons, visit the 1939 World's Fair and witnesses the advent of future technology, encountering robots and dishwashers for the first time.

Carlos Argüelles is the son of a wealthy man whose only interests in life are business and making money. While trying to succeed in show business he falls in love with a dancer and they elope to marry. But success is not easy to obtain.

Two spirited teen girls place a bet on who will become the first to kiss their handsome teacher.

An amazingly tight version of the Act 3 Quartet from Rigoletto with the Delta Rhythm Boys.

This absurdly pro-business film tells the story of a young man who learns a lesson about capitalism and how his town is dependent upon its factories for their way of life. Young Jerry happens upon a labor uprising outside one of the factories in his town and is seduced by the crowd and the fiery speaker. He is about to join in the mob violence when he is plucked from the melee by a policeman who knows his grandfather. The cop takes him home and his grandfather, who remembers the town back when it was "a vacant lot," tells Jerry the story of how the Manson company "built" their town.

The Delta Rhythm Boys perform "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Harlem."

The Delta Rhythm Boys perform "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Harlem."

Soundie in which Noro Morales and his orchestra play while "Dolores and Nino and Lenora" perform.

The soundie begins with the guys in the bandbox playing nurdy stuff & the dancers in the street chanting "No, No, No!" until at long last Walter Fuller bursts into a wild, rapid jazz rendition of "After I'm Gone," setting the dance competition in motion.

The Deep River Boys sing an exciting version of Toot that Trumpet (1941), staged as a club setting with lots of dancers, Chinese paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling and a lively trumpet player.
