Program for the fabulous Nicholas Brothers when they were still children, Cotton Club, 1938. Fortunately, the brothers' spectacular dance routines were captured on film, including in Kid Millions, The Big Broadcast of 1936, Down Argentine Way, Orchestra Wives, Stormy Weather, and The Pirate, among others.
