Comment
A young woman who works in a music store is talent spotted ata the company picnic. She joins a dancing double act and starts her way up the ladder to stardom, but along the way has relationship roblems with new and old friends. This is a typical backstage story of a girl seeking fame and fortune, though it is essentially a series and song and dance scenes joined together by a very thin plot. The finale is a revue produced by Florenz Ziegfeld with performances from contmeporary stars Rudy Valle, Helen Morgan and Eddie Cantor. The picture and sound quality of the surviving version is poor.
