After a contextual overview of events in 1924, the legacy of Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake’s Shuffle Along (starring Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles) on other Black musicals, including Runnin’ Wild, featuring Adelaide Hall and Elisabeth Welch, and Dinah, in which Gertrude Saunders introduced the Black Bottom dance, is discussed. Next is an introduction to the revue genre, with examples including Ziegfeld’s Follies of 1923, the Shubert’s Artists and Models and Charlot’s London Calling!, all of which played into 1924.
