Sing Another Chorus (1941) Online

Arthur Peyton, sole owner of Peyton Frocks,Inc., is wrestling with a multitude of problems; slow sales, slower collections and a son, Andy, who wants to write stage revues. Andy is being urged on by Francine La Verne, an ex-burlesque performer. Edna, private secretary to the elder Peyton, and Stanislaus, the company janitor, are also preparing an amateur show to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary. Theodore Gateson has agreed to produce a musical Andy wrote in college, but takes Peyton's $50,000 advance and vanishes. Meanwhile, Edna has Andy working on a revue that will serve to introduce new designs to buyers in New York. Before the finale of the revue, Francine and Stanislaus arrive backstage, dragging a bruised Gateson, who they have caught before he could spend the advance money.

During the performance of "Mister Yankee Doodle," a band of some sort flies off Rosario's costume and lands on the floor. It remains there for the remainder of the number, even getting stepped on and breaking; it is likely that there was no time for another take. It only disappears after the number's conclusion, when the couple takes a bow in a long shot.

The song The Boogie Woogie Boogie Man, was used again in Universal's 1944 musical/murder mystery MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM.

In addition to MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM, "The Boogie Woogie Boogie Man" also appeared - sung by the Brian Sisters - in RHYTHM REVEL, a 1941 Universal two-reeler.

The shot of Mischa Auer sitting in a chair holding his cane and gloves while he watches rehearsal was used by Universal to announce Auer in the cast of HOLD THAT GHOST in that picture's theatrical trailer.

Universal cranked out loads of these six-and-seven reel wonders in the early 1940's. They benefited from great casts, really good songs, outstanding orchestrations, usually fast pace, and more than serviceable scripts. SING ANOTHER CHORUS is a typically cheery entry with great work by the largely unsung Johnny Downs, Jane Frazee, George Barbier, Iris Adrian, Mischa Auer and Walter Catlett. The Peters (Piotrowski) Bros. do some terrific dancing and sing the rhythm number "Rug Cuttin' Romeo". Iris Adrian (though very well dubbed) does "The Boogie Woogie Boogie Man". This song got plenty of mileage. It appeared again later in 1941 in a Will Osborn two-reeler, sung by the Brian Sisters; and again in 1944's MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM. Unless you find a grey market DVD or an old United World Films 16mm print it is doubtful you'll get to see this little sparkler. But if it turns up on your horizon, check it out. There are many worse ways to spend 64 minutes.

Sing Another Chorus is a movie that has terrific acting, singing and dancing. My Dad and his brother, Peter and Ronald Piotrowski (Peters Bros.) began their show business career at the early age of 15 years old. This movie showcased their talent and they had the opportunity to continue to grow into big name stars. Through time, Dad met his wife and my Mom, Lorraine LeBouton. Dad decided life was too short to neglect the ultimate life experience of having a family. Dad took center stage with Mom being the best supporting actress and had 4 wonderful children, Debbie, Pam, Peter and Scott. Our parents decision was the best decision. The opportunities for all of us to laugh, cry and live a healthy, happy life together is something that will never be forgotten. The family vacations, movies, dinners, functions and gatherings all provided an experience of growth for all of us. To be able to reflect back upon a time when my Dad was on the big screen makes this movie most enjoyable!
