Unlike her usual sing between scenes roles from her early period,
Judy Garland has more of a featured role in this early film. It's
about a wacky theatrical family going broke that's shown up by the
servants and their expelled daughter, Judy. It's a typical corny plot
for a 1930's musical, but it's made bearable by the outstanding
host of talented supporting players. Reginald Owen and the
delightfully dizzy Billie Burke are hilarious as the theatrical couple.
Reginald Gardiner, Lynne Carver, and Allan Jones play the straight
romantic parts. Allan Jones and Fanny Brice, in a rare film
appearance, are the servants. Jones' operatic singing is not
always endearing in his films, and Brice's Baby Snooks routine
looks less appealing on stage than it probably sounded on the
radio. The first half of the film moves by at a quick pace with witty
dialog and general zaniness; however, the film,oddly enough,
drags somewhat in the second half when the film turns to more of
a musical focus. A few songs are repeated throughout the film in
one form or another, giving us the idea that MGM's budget wasn't
large enough. Judy Garland, as the young girl that wants to be on
stage, is full of energy and bounce. This is fluffy, madcap
entertainment from the Great Depression years. 2 1/2 of 4 stars.
