The 1931 U of S Ladies Lit Chorus.

University of Saskatchewan Archives — The Greystone 1931

Their performance is described in the University yearbook as “one of the peppiest things ever put across the footlights of Convocation Hall. Verve! Dash! Wit!” In 1930 Marlene Dietrich had electrified film audiences with her performance in Morocco — especially memorable was her night club song performed in tuxedo and top hat.
