Anecdotes
The two-strip Technicolor sequence, running approximately 500 feet, occurs in the film's third reel - a musical number entitled "Dust," performed on stage by May Boley and a chorus of girls dressed as devils, while Lawrence Gray looks on. The sequence survives in black-and-white in the Turner Classic Movies print, and was used again in Roast-Beef and Movies (1934), where portions of it survive in color, which can also be seen in That's Entertainment! III (1994).

Citations
Fanny Kaye: [referring to Andy Little] You know, he's the first piano player I ever had in my act who didn't try to get fresh with me.
Emma Gray: Why, Fanny, I always thought you were *cold.*
Fanny Kaye: Cold? Hmph, you'd be surprised.
[smiles mischievously]
Andy Little: When a woman gets your age, there ain't no surprises left!

what's a guy to do? can't choose...

Early talkie. Danny and Emma ( (Lawrence Gray and Wynne Gibson) are in show biz, and trying to make a go of it. Blackface minstrel show. Producing various shows. Lots of long lines of dancers, uniform formations and outfits. He seems to be torn between to birds... emma and pat. He teeters back and forth between them. What's a guy to do? Such problems. Lots of snap crackle pop on the sound track, but the picture quality is pretty good! Original play from Crane Wilbur; was caught up in the production of Tomorrow's Children, a discussion of sterilization and birth conrol, which was a huge no-no at the time. Directed by Harry Beaumont, who had JUST been nominated for Broadway Melody. It's okay.
