Never-Before-Seen Footage of Jimmie Rodgers?

January 26, 1931, was a drizzly Texas winter day in San Antonio when famed cowboy humorist and movie star Will Rogers arrived by plane from the state's capital of Austin to embark on a Red Cross tour of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas for the relief of drought victims. He was joined by America's Blue Yodeler, Jimmie Rodgers, who provided his music to the tour. A film crew met Rogers at his reception at the San Antonio airfield to produce a Fox Movietone newsreel documenting the benefit. Remarkably, the resulting footage appears to contain an exceedingly rare motion picture appearance by Jimmie Rodgers—only the second of such known publicly to exist, if authentic, and the only candid film of him. The figure identified as Rodgers can be seen, dressed in a silverbelly ten-gallon hat (which looks plausibly like the same one Rodgers wore when photographed with Rogers at Blue Yodeler's Paradise in nearby Kerrville only a few days later) and what appears to be a fur-collared coat, standing directly behind Will Rogers, to his left, as the humorist greets Mayor C.M. Chambers. At one point, he bows his head, seemingly to sign an autograph for a young fan standing before him. Later in the film, he can be seen lingering behind the crowd swamping Rogers, at which point he gives a quick flash of that signature Jimmie Rodgers crooked grin.
