Miriam Hopkins does a brief cancan in Virginia City, the 1940 film also starring Errol Flynn, Randolph Scott and Humphrey Bogart. It is shown in the first set of photos above and in the first video (at about 1:00). I've always liked the element of her routine where she is peeking over the top of the raised skirt with a mischievous look. The cancan is all too short - not very much longer than what is shown in theTrailer.
There is a second dance routine in the film, shown in the second and third photos and the second video, but it barely qualifies as a cancan.
The photos and poster are from The Blonde at the Film blog:
