Jack Schulze, one of the best known art directers in Hollywood, was assigned the tast of designing the various settings for this tune- ful production, a story of New York life.

The results are said to afford some- thing of a surprise to screen audiences.

Dixie Lee, Sue Carol and Walter Catlett share the leading honours in this production which is enlivened. with a constant stress of comedy by Richard Keene, Ilka Chase, Charles Judels and Elizabeth Patterson."
