I recently bought the book "King of Jazz: Paul Whiteman's Technicolor Revue", autographed by authors James Layton and David Pierce and a mighty work of research it surely is. I first heard of Paul Whiteman years back, when Oliver Hardy's character was "mistaken" for him in the Laurel and Hardy short "Below Zero"! One of the first full page photos in the book is of the aforementioned Louise Brooks lookalikes "The Sisters G" and they are indeed striking to say the least. I look forward to grabbing a copy of the criterion blu ray, so thanks for the informed review here.

Some of the scenes have a Expressionistic quality to them.film streaminghttp://koomstream.com/noreply@blogger.com
