(US 1929)
MGM. 118m. bw(Technicolor sequences)
Extremely sluggish theatre-style revue complete with slowly parting curtains and total silent audience appreciation, one of MGM's more economical spectaculars using mostly mid-division stars in slightly out-of-character spots, including Laurel and Hardy, whose guest appearance is all too brief.

Producer: Harry Rapf.
Director: Charles F. Reisner.
Starring: Jack Benny, Conrad Nagel, Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, Marie Dressler, Polly Moran, Oliver Hardy, Stan Laurel, Bessie Love, Buster Keaton, Norma Shearer, John Gilbert, Lionel Barrymore, Gus Edwards, Ukelele Ike, and others.
