Dorthy sings "Love Is Like a Cigarette." Husing then spends about two-and-a-half minutes watching a novelty-music entertainer named Joie Rardin, with Ben Bernie's Band, do some novelty-music entertaining. This segment of this short was edited from the television version, which is why the film version runs ten minutes and the television version (available for viewing on YouTube) only runs seven minutes and forty-nine seconds. And for a wind-up, Husing watches Vera Marshe and Louis Da Pron, recent Paramount contractees from Broadway, dance up a storm. Written by Les Adams See less
