1930's ALL GIRL ORCHESTRA RECORD ALBUM "STUDY IN BLUE" 2 VOGUE PICTURE RECORDS

 







1930's ALL GIRL ORCHESTRA RECORD ALBUM "STUDY IN BLUE" 2 VOGUE PICTURE RECORDS

The Hour of Charm All Girl Orchestra was assembled by conductor and band leader Phil Spitalny who was said to have scoured the country for six months, at a cost of $20,000, auditioning some 1,500 women musicians, before selecting 22 of them to be in his group. Girls agreeing to sign on were presented a contract with a long list of rules and regulations. A stylish dress code was strictly enforced; hair was to be long and flowing. The ladies were instructed to carefully watch calories, maintaining a weight of less than 120 lbs. The girls needed permission to date and were not allowed to marry.

Spitalny and the orchestra made their debut in New York City at the Capitol Theater, and began a network radio program, "The Hour of Charm," on January 3, 1935.

This album, Study in Blue, has two attractive Vogue Picture Records: Alice Blue Gown, Blue Skies, and Parts 1 and 2 of Rhapsody in Blue. The folder is in very good condition with an introduction of the Orchestra and leader inside the front and a picture of the Girl Orchestra on the inside back.  The records themselves are in very good + condition with some scratching but on chips or cracks.

Please feel free to ask questions.  Successful U.S. buyer pays $4.00 shipping as per ebay requirements.
