A Warner Brothers Vitaphone film short from 1937, featuring Babe Ruth, Zez Confrey, Byron Gay, and the Three De Marcos. It took me a while to figure out if the De Marcos were little boys or girls, but listen closely and you can hear them referred to as girls! Babe Ruth was a bit of a piano player himself, and Edward Elzear Confrey wrote the fabulous "Kitten On the Keys," of course. Byron Gay's first number was "The Little Ford Rambled Right Along," and he later had a hit with "The Vamp."

Hey Adam! =) Great videos you have here. I have seen this film before, but I watch it time and time again to see Zez Confrey, one of my biggest idols (along with Schutt and Bargy).. The title tune was published, interestingly enough.. You want sheet music? Drop me a message..

A fascinating film! ... ( 5 months ago by luigiranalli)
A fascinating film! It's great to see Zez Confrey in action!! I suspect that Babe Ruth's contribution to Home Run On The Keys is just a publicity trick and that he didn't even "compose" the glissando in that piece, the home run, unlike showed in the film. Anyway, simply fantastic! Confrey is a ragtime master!!!
Oh, I didn't know ... ( 4 months ago by luigiranalli)
Oh, I didn't know he was a pianist! Thanks for the info, I've got to get more informed about those great fellows!
