ment.
Eleanor Whitney, called the owner of the "fastest feet in the world," and Robert Cummings have leading roles. Also featured are Olympe Bradas French dance sensation; Louis DaPron, speed tapper of the art order, and a cast including William Frawley Roscoe Karns, John Halliday, E- zabeth Patterson, Grace Bradley, Veda Ann Borg and Billy Lee
The story deals with Meanore, test-stepping daughter of a movie magnate, Halliday, who is sent to a finishing school by the step mother, Miss Borg. The school proves a fake, with charines posing as students and vaudeville actors masquerading as professors, all in order to crash Hollywood. The blot is to get Eleanore to take part in a "choot performance, invite ber father to attend, and sell him the idea of buying the acts.
The story of "My American Wife" gives an unusual, reverse angle twist to the situation of the title- seeking girl of wealth and the money-seeking nobleman. Lederer and Miss Sothern Count and girl of wealth,marry for love. Re- turned to Arizona, Miss Sothern is gradually led by her mother to use her titled husband as a rung in the social ladder, while, the Count himself, in love with America, and the open West, wants to become s cowboy rancher and swap his tatle for the nickiame "Spike."
The resulting situation bringa the pair almost to divorce.
