Lena Zavaroni Sings A Silly "Ma He's Making Eyes At Me" from Bachelors UK Show

Another clip from the "Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco" promo short (available in its entirety at www.archive.org). As with "Your Hit Parade," Kay Kyser's radio "Kollege of Musical Knowledge" was sponsored by American Tobacco/Luckies...hence Kay's appearance, along with Kyser regulars Harry Babbitt, Julie Conway, Sully Mason and "Gorgeous" Georgia Carroll (soon to be Mrs. Kyser). By the time of this film, the Kyser group has gone through its 1940-42 metamorphosis and is now a first-rate swing band, with veteran drummer Ormond Downes bringing his usual lift and drive to the ensemble.
