But not quite all of it. Warner Bros, have gathered together in this tale of the Rialto's backstage in a gripping dramatic story of the theatre of to-day, of the pro- blems, heart-aches and tears, the good times, light-hearted, cama- raderie and care-free days, when there's money in the pocket, forty weeks more of work ahead, and about, all of nothing to worry which make up stage existence.
Chorus girls--to the number of fifty- about one hundred and stars, directors, singers, writers, hoofers, crooners, comics, heavies, juveniles and ingenues--- they're all there. And Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, George Brent, Una Merkel Ruby Keeler (Mrs. Al Jolson) Guy Kibbee. Ned Sparks and Ginger Rogers.
