Dixiana (1930) brings romance, comedy and music to antebellum New Orleans. Bebe Daniels stars as a circus performer caught between the affections of a wealthy young man and the schemes of a gambler, with Everett Marshall, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey.
Directed by Luther Reed for RKO, this early sound musical features Bill “Bojangles” Robinson in his film debut and Max Steiner’s first screen credit for orchestration. It offers a vivid look at Hollywood’s transition to talking pictures.
