They get themselves Into all sorts of hilarious mix-ups until Ginger Rogers takes it upon herself to fix things up in good entertaining fashion. Real comedy—real music. That is tho exceptional lure offered by the Kosy to-day where the musical film is playing. From the opening to the final, the picture is jammed with corned}", music, and beautiful girls. You see the inside of tho song writing business and find out how Hollywood makes its musical films in many scenes behind tho screen. The locale is Hollywood, and the characters are songwriters, stars, producers and others.

American radio stars such as the Pickens Sisters, Arthur Jarrett and Virginia Sale do the big song hits that wero written for this picture: “Many Moons Ago,” “Did You Ever See a

Dream Walking?” “You're Such a Comfort to Me,” and “Good Morning Glory.”
