# Boarding House Blues

The owner of a theatrical boarding house is about to go bankrupt, so her tenants put on a show to raise the funds needed to keep the house. Of note mostly for as a document of actual vaudeville acts not long before vaudeville died out completely. Unfortunately, this copy was digitized poorly. The movie was shot flat (1.33:1), but this file seems to be forced to a 1.66:1 ratio, cropping off the top and bottom of the frame slightly, which is very noticeable during some of the acts recorded.
