Today, I want to take about 18 minutes to share something with our readers. The Devil’s Cabaret is an early color short film from 1930. I recent caught it on TCM and my immediate reaction was that I simply had to share it. Along with fitting in with the October theme of this site, The Devil’s Cabaret provides ample evidence of just how weird Hollywood could be before the production code was instituted.
Incidentally, the devil is played Charles Middleton who, nearly two decades later, would play The Strangler of the Swamp.
Enjoy The Devil’s Cabaret!

How about that? Very clever. I like seeing the “physical” special effects of early films like this one. And those were some nice dance sequences.
