Summary
The short films included in this compilation are known as Soundies. These musical films were shown in a jukebox machine called a Panoram. Many of the most popular recording artists of the day appeared in them. But due to a shortage of production materials during World War II, the Panorams themselves were in short supply. The shortage of Panorams ultimately spelled the demise of the Soundie in 1947
