Vitamin 'U' for Me

Thelma Woodruff and a bevy of other beauties work out at a gym and sing the title song in this amusing soundie.

Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.

All of them look quite fit. Not Snub Pollard, who has shed his usual comic mustache to climb out of his wheelchair to chase after the ladies.
