introduced talking pictures to
the public, and Miss Keller, one
time musical comedy star who

matte in spots, with hilarious COM
edy situations and a glowing ro-
nance.
Spectacular dance numbers in
which scores of Hollywood's most
beautiful chorus girls take part,

Connolly, noted Broadway musical
comedy director who recently has
turned his talents to the screen.

tea moi Warren and Dublin. These
are sung by Jolson. Miss Keeler
and Helen Morgan, famous torch
singer.

little dancing girl, as well as do
ing her best to wreck a show be-
ing staged, through her jealous
rage. Glenda Farrell, as Jolson's
sister, finally straightens matters
in sensational climax.
The story concerns a, Broadway
entertainer, who is barred from

his fondness for wine, women and
the ponies. The staging OF
