[Dixielandjazz] Soprano (Ukulele) banjo movie star?

[Dave Hanson]

The only person that comes to mid is Rudy Vallee ! I remember him playing a uke in some films and perhaps he also played a soprano banjo (what ever that is) I also wonder if he qualified as a "movie star", but back then, maybe.

  Hi all,

  A caller to my radio show asked if I remembered a 1930-50s era male  
  movie star who played the soprano banjo and sang. The listener said  
  he was from the former Czechoslovakia and remembered seeing the films  
  when he was a child. He could not remember if the person was American  
  or from Europe.

  I have done some web searches with no clear results.

  Any  ideas?

  Dave Richoux
