Featuring Ted Healy and His Stooges
94 min. (Feature Film)
Janie (Joan Crawford) is a dancer with a desire for the big-time, but so far can only find work at the Burlesque House. Tod (Franchot Tone), her rich, playboy admirer arranges an interview for her at the Bradley Theater. Gallagher (Clark Gable), the theater director tries to give her the brush-off, but her talent earns her a spot in the show. When Tod throws a cast party, he convinces Janie to marry him if she fails on stage. When the show is suddenly cancelled, (Mr. Bradley being bribed by Tod) Gallagher defiantly puts up his own money to save the show.
Fred Astaire's film debut.
