St. Louis blues (ca. 16 min.): "It's a short film playing out a hit song that Bessie Smith had. The film was a dramatization of the song, a woman left alone by her roving man. Bessie is the main woman, Jimmy the boyfriend and Isabel the other woman. It was filmed in June 1929 in Astoria, Queens"--Container.

A rhapsody in black and blue (ca. 10 min.): "A husband who listens to jazz instead of mopping the floor is brained with a mop by his wife; he dreams he's King of Jazzmania, a land of soapsuds where Louis Armstrong performs 'I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You' and 'Shine'"--Www.imdb.com.
