Ah yes, the coffee shop of them days of yore. I’d like a nice hot cup of tea and some of those hot cross buns they are advertising.
The Vagabond King Announcement, Evening Express (Los Angeles, CA), March 7, 1930
Wanna go to a “talkie?” Set in France in the Middle Ages, this film was a originally a Broadway and West End operetta. The star, Dennis King, who played the lead role of Villon on both stages, reprised the role for the movie. Also of note, apparently Dennis King and his co-star, Jeanette MacDonald didn’t particularly like each other, probably because King was a tad too much of an egotist.
The UCLA Film and Television Archive owns the only known print of this film.

Please don’t forget to eat your Post Toasties! I’m not sure how long Post made these, but they had a good run. A great knock-off of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.
