One of many "Broadway-based" early talkies and one of the most entertaining.
Timeworn story of young girls trying to hit the big time (or at least find a rich husband).
It's got it all: Cute smart talking chorus girls, love issues, sleazy con men/gangsters, snappy dialogue, musical numbers...
Alice White fans will love her in her first talkie. Sadly unknown today but for serious movie buffs, she was fetchingly cute, charming and peppy. Her musical numbers in this are first rate. Jig, Jig Jigaloo is wild.
Great support from Marian Byron & Sally Eilers as White's two gal pals. Jocelyn Lee is good also her rival. Also Tom Dugan as the stuttering loyal friend.
The weakest link to me was Charles Delaney as White's boyfriend and stage manager. I found him kind of a putz.
But overall, entertaining and full of early 30's flavor and lingo. Alice White to me is always worth it... Judge for yourself. thank you
