Alice White lead
7 June 2023
Jimmie Doyle is a struggling writer trying to get his musical open in New York. His girlfriend Dixie Dugan (Alice White) is desperate to be a star and tired of waiting for Jimmie's musical. Dixie sings at a nightclub and gets the attention of director Frank Buelow (John Miljan). Frank convinces her to go to Hollywood and Jimmie breaks up with her. Once in Hollywood, it's not as easy as she thought. She befriends former star Donny Harris (Blanche Sweet) who is over the hill at 32.

Alice White is playing the squeaky blonde newbie. Her acting is a bit one-note for the most part. She's a little dumb, but not dumb enough to be that funny. I don't love the character, but she is somewhat interesting. I actually find her diva turn slightly funny. This is ok. Apparently, there is a Technicolor last reel but it's been lost. At this point, it's all black and white.
