Add to this soxtet Lyle Talbot, as the handsome leading man, plus sparkling, snappy, typical Joan Blondell-Glenda Farroll dialogue and you have a rare combination. The screen play, which is on original by Earl Baldwin, con- cerns the adventures of two Broadway chorus girls, Joan Blondeli and Glerida Farrell, who go to Harvana to pick themselves couple of millionaires to shake down for breach of promise maney. They had been led to belleve | thai Havana was simply flooded with rich suckers ready to be taken for easy money. The entanglements into which they get themselves with Guy Kibbes as the "millionaire" sucker form the basis for the hilarious situations. Lyle Talbot, as the son of the supposed millionairo, plays the roman- tle lend who meets and falls in love with one of the girls, Joan Blondell, who is trying to trim his father. The scenes are photographed against a colourful background which takes in the famous bar rodms, hotels and night clubs of the resort town with the axotic Cuban Rumba dance pre- mented by a score or more of beautiful dancers.
