Tuba player in a feature part! (Short Subject)

Post by David Richoux »

I just stumbled across this 1937 MGM short: Bars and Stripes featuring Maynard Holmes as "Johnny the Tuba Player" but I don't think he was actually playing his Sousaphone (could have been Country Washburn, by the style - but that is only a guess - IMdb is no help.)

Spoiler - he has a girlfriend!

I did a back search on this - Chuck Jackson spotted this in 2004, but he got some details wrong and he had no link to the film ;-)
