This  could be the clip whereof you speak, a 1933 Vitaphone short  subject:

His  orchestra does sometimes border on salon music, and the lack of brass
in  the 1932-33 band is rather atypical. But I enjoy the soft, even pensive 
tones  of
Denny's unit, particularly in "Goodnight My Love" from 13 Apr. 1932 (Vic  
22983).




As I recall, Rudy Vallee had no brass for a long time in the early  days.  
His pianist, Sammy Diehl, lived in Erie (PA) where I was working at  the time, 
but I didn't know it--and he died before I had a chance to meet  him.
