Piccadilly (1929) - extract

Updated: 13 Dec 2012

With its stunning production design and photography, 'Piccadilly' depicts London through an otherworldly cocktail of influences, blending the debauchery of the rich West End set with the sleazy excitement of a Limehouse dive bar and the city's smoky Chinese quarter. German émigré EA Dupont, who brought an international flair to late-'20s British cinema, also tackles the then risqué subject of inter-racial sex. As Shosho, who works her way from kitchen hand to star attraction at the eponymous nightclub, via a love tryst with its (attached) owner, Chinese-American star Anna May Wong represents the ultimate, and ultimately doomed, Deco diva.

The Piccadilly Players (Under the Direction by Al Starita) with Vocal Trio - I've Never Seen A Smile Like Yours, Columbia 1929 ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: In the history of hot dance bands of 1920s, two exquisite dance bands called Piccadilly (or The Piccadilly) Players have to be mentioned. One was the American dance orchestra - a house band for the Edison label, directed by Mel (Melville) Morris. Quite a few recordings of that excellent orchestra can be found in YT. The other was the British band, conducted by clarinetist Al Starita. He was formerly a member of Jack Hylton's famous dance orchestra, that played in one of best London West End night clubs - The Kit-Cat Club, in Haymarket. Hylton was engaged in numerous artistical occupations, and he often let Al Starita take over and conduct the band in his place, when the night was very busy. It's how, in the end of 1920s, the new dance band was born in London - The Piccadilly Players, that started recording for Columbia also as The Piccadilly Revels Band (conducted by Al's brother, Ray Starita).

Melville Morris (Oct.5,1888 - Feb.10,1987) Mel, a fine pianist and first rate sight reader, started working as a music demonstrator pianist for some of the Tin Pan Alley publishing houses. In 1907 he was hired to the staff of Hager Company as a song demonstrator. Late in the year he was picked up by rapidly growing publisher Jerome H. Remick & Company as an arranger and song plugger. The 1910 Census indicates that he was a music publisher, but it was more likely that he was working in music for a publisher, as he was also still living with his parents. His first published composition came in 1911. Morris married Dorothy Kresner in late 1910 in New York. In the early teens Mel started working in Vaudeville as an entertainer and pianist. In 1912 and 1913 he was also associated with the George W. Meyer Music Company. He was the accompanist for singer Lillian Lorraine at Hammerstein's Theater. Listings from 1913 and later indicate that Mel cut some piano rolls for the Rhythmodik label. In the late 1910s Mel went to work for Paul Whiteman, who was building up his orchestra at this time. In April of 1918 he was engaged as a professional manager for Leo Feist, Incorporated, and took out an ad in the trades noting the address, and that he would "be pleased to greet his many friends." Morris ventured to England for a short while where he helped write a musical comedy. Back in the states, his Picadilly Players, a subset of the Whiteman Orchestra, became a house band for Edison ...

"Sleep, Baby,Sleep" 'Bertini & His Dance Band,as playing at the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool. Vocalist - Tom Whalley.' This record was recorded in May, 1929 and is one of Bertini's first records. It was recorded for Piccadilly Records but issued through Curry's Ltd.,the High Street electrical and cycle dealers. This record is in fine condition. I have never come across the vocalist, Tom Whalley on any other records and he recieves full written credit on the label for his singing refrain. An excellent looking label though Curry's, see what you think?.

Anna May Wong The daughter of a humble Chinese laundry-man, Anna May Wong rose to become the most famous Asian American movie actress in the world, Incredibly courageous, she endured many hardships to achieve her success in the 1920s and 30s arguably the most racially discriminative time in Hollywood. Even to this day, there has been no other Asian actress to rival her acclaim. While many documentaries have been made to honor Anna may Wong, Of Anna And Dreams tells the story with more artistic color, from an internal perspective. It is a film that is about Anna May Wong and beyond, about her internal motivations, her emotional life. The film is composed of three dream sequences, symbolic interpretations depicting aspects of her life and her love story. Dream sequence 1 is a nightmare exploring her fears. Dream 2 focuses on the confusion of her own identity and her frustration with the anti-Chinese laws and prejudices of the era*; Dream 3 depicts Anna May Wong's joy of acting in the movie Piccadilly (1929) and a romantic presentation of her tragic romance with a Caucasian man named Eric Maschwitz. *Note: The Chinese Exclusion Act prevented Chinese immigration and lead to intense anti-Chinese discrimination in ...

Duration: 3:03
Updated: 13 Oct 2012

Recorded in February of 1920. This is also a tribute to silent and sound film star Anna May Wong. Anna May Wong (Chinese: 黃柳霜; pinyin: Huáng Liǔshuāng) (January 3, 1905 -- February 3, 1961) was an American actress, the first Chinese American movie star, and the first Asian American to become an international star. Her long and varied career spanned both silent and sound film, television, stage, and radio. Born near the Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles to second-generation Chinese-American parents, Wong became infatuated with the movies and began acting in films at an early age. During the silent film era, she acted in The Toll of the Sea (1922), one of the first movies made in color and Douglas Fairbanks' The Thief of Bagdad (1924). Wong became a fashion icon, and by 1924 had achieved international stardom. Frustrated by the stereotypical supporting roles she reluctantly played in Hollywood, Wong left for Europe in the late 1920s, where she starred in several notable plays and films, among them Piccadilly (1929). She spent the first half of the 1930s traveling between the United States and Europe for film and stage work. Wong was featured in films of the early sound era, such as Daughter of the Dragon (1931) and Daughter of Shanghai (1937), and with Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternberg's Shanghai Express (1932). In 1935 Wong was dealt the most severe disappointment of her career, when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer refused to consider her for the leading role in its film ...
