Andre Kostelanetz & His Orchestra Blues Opera Suite, Act I Harold Arlen: Blues Opera & The Grandma Moses Suite Columbia According to the liner notes: The setting of "Blues Opera" is St. Louis in the late 1880s. All the action takes place in a combination saloon-dance hall 'social club'. The principal characters are the jockey, Augie and his sweetheart, Della. Among the men who try to woo Della away from Augie are Biglow, the club's manager, and the unscrupulous gambler, Ragsdale. When Biglow is shot and killed by a discarded sweetheart of his, Augie is falsely accused of the crime. How Augie discards his superstitions and clears himself of the accusation and wins Della back from Ragsdale leads to the climax of the opera.

Vagabond Opera Chaplin Nonsense Song Get On The Train s/r In the movie "Modern Times", Charlie Chaplin sings Leo Daniderff's comical song, 'Je cherche apres Titine', marking the very first time Chaplin's voice was heard on film, after 20 years of working in silent pictures. Chaplin's version was sung in gibberish, since in the movie his character loses the shirt cuff which had the lyrics written on it.
