Warner Brothers did a short subject saluting the good old days of live vaudeville with Vaudeville Days. Considering that it was the coming of sound film that finally did in vaudeville, I think it was the least they could do. The short provided some vaudeville acts who were no doubt looking for work with a pay day.
The first half had imitations of some of the vaudeville stars in the past like Vesta Victoria, Pat Rooney, Sr., Eva Tanguay, and Andrew Mack. I actually have an old gramophone recording of Eva Tanguay singing her signature song I Don't Care. I'm wondering how close the Duffins were in channeling all of those acts, especially Tanguay. Note they didn't pick people who were still alive and entertaining.
The variety acts then presented were nice, nothing too special. It is sad that a lot of these people either never recorded or lived long enough to have their acts captured on sound film.
