Honolulu, Gracie Allen vintage Ukulele

Lots of things that appear to be ukuleles in this Betty Boop cartoon!

 
As 2018 begins we are Honoring ukers in the past, post more if you find any more

The Evening Independent (8 November 1938):

Gracie Allen, who is learning to play a ukelele for a scene in “Honolulu,” explains the ease in learning to play the instrument. “All you have to do,” says Gracie, “is to scratch your tummy for a while and then put a ukelele there.”
 
Very fun stuff. Hey everyone, if you click the second from the right icon above the reply space and enter the link, the video will show directly in your post, as some of you have done.

I particularly like that Gracie Allen one because my wife and I have been talking about taking tap dance lessons later on this spring when we get back to Iowa from PR. It seems like a fun way to get some exercise. So ukuleles and tap dancing. Very inspirational. :D
