Regarding the dance band and singer at the end of the show, this is proving to be a bit of a brain teaser and my internet research has only produced limited results.
I believe the dance band to be the George Hall orchestra which had a residency at the Taft Hotel, Washington for several years; it was otherwise known as the Dawn Patrol after the name of their regular singer Dolly Dawn, who later had the orchestra gifted to her by George Hall. I believe this is the band shown in the clip as if you pause the recording you can clearly see the letter D P on the drums, hence the Dawn Patrol. The singer however neither looks like or sounds like Dolly Dawn, so my best guess is that they had a guest singer for this particular performance. The singer has a striking resemblance to Jean Harlow – perhaps someone else can come up with a name? !!
A great film clip by the way, keep up the good work.
