Love a good whodunnit film
Back in 1930 a book was published called "The Invisible Host" by Gwen Bristow and Bruce Manning. It was filmed in 1934 as "The 9th Guest" and directed by Roy William Neill, est know for his Universal series of Sherlock Holmes films (Basil Rathbone).
Agatha Christie wrote her novel "And Now Then There None" as it's now known in 1939. There are similarities with the 1930 book.
"The 9th Guest" is on Youtube though the Rene Clair "And Then There Were None" is a far better film.

A mad day of golf awaits. The mollycuddled Yanks can't handle links golf.
It' is funny.
Hope all are A1 - a mad road. Should be dual carrageway - not suicide attempts.
There was a short 20 minutes American film made in 1939 called "Gals and Gallons" which seems to be lost, It was a collection of entertainment acts.
One of the acts was Pansy the Dancing Horse. In the 1944 short film "Kehoe's Marimba Band" the third act has another appearance by Pansy the Dancing Horse. That can be seen:

Starts at 5 minutes 11 seconds. The "trainer" was Connie Haas.
Pansy the Dancing Horse was a popular vaudeville act. The "horse" was Andy Mayo and Nonnie Morton. For much of the 1930s the "trainer" was Andy's wife Florence. When Florence had her first child, the "trainer" was Virgina Jones. She was in that lost film "Gals and Gallons".
In the early 1940s Virginia Jones became a film actress though used what had become her stage name Virginia Mayo.

Short film from 1929 called "Black and Tan" of musical interest as it starred Duke Ellington, his earliest film appearance. Very slight storyline which ends tragically.

The same director, Dudley Murphy, made "St Louis Blues" in the same year. It is the only film appearance of Bessie Smith. A slight storyline and is bleak, effectively built around her song of that title. Great song but sad

A more lighthearted clip from another 1929 film called "Happy Days".
I think the singer was Sharon Lynn and the central dancer Ann Pennington.

Another clip from a 1929 film called "Tanned Legs" (Ann Pennington on the left and June Clyde on the right at the start of the clip). Closer to an exercise routine
