Richard Himber

Richard Himber and His Orchestra plays us a few songs.

A fictional plot Paramount Headline series short that follows the busy day of the Himber Orchestra. It opens with the band at morning rehearsal, playing the novelty number "Sound Your A." Then to the phonograph-recording studio as they record a disc of the fox-trot ballad, "True Confessions", with band vocalist Alice Marion singing the song. Then to a radio-studio where they play "St. Louis Blues", accompanied by the Selinsky String Quartet and the Adrian Rollini Trio. The day/night finishes at dawn with the band in a nightclub, with singer Stuart Allen vocalizing "Blossoms on Broadway."

Richard Himber And His Ritz Carlton Orchestra perform one of the big hits of the day- "It's Easy To Remember." Himber even does a magic trick before the singer performs.
