| The Erwings' Band |
|
American 8-piece band/orchestra.
This 1934 photo shows 9 band members vs the 8 in the movie. But you could likely conclude that the three Erwing Brothers in the band were there for every configuration and therefore in the movie: James Lane Erwing born May 29, 1908 - Sherman, Texas died May 25, 1964 - San Bernardino James' obit says he's 53 but he's just shaving years off his age, birthdate is given on his WWII draft registration and matches his age in 1930 census. Harris Johnson Erwing born Jan 30, 1910 - Sherman, Texas (listed as 2 months old in April 1910 census, age is on WWII draft registration) died - March 2, 1986 - San Bernardino Dorchester Corvin Erwing born - Oct 12, 1912 - Sherman, Texas died - Dec 22, 1957 - San Bernardino (Fontana) Documentation attached (se bottom of page). With filming in Feb 1928 that'd mean the Erwings would be between 15 and 19. They disappear in mid 1930's but reappear in late 1950s in San Bernardino till about 1962. |
