Strictly for nostalgia fans who want to see how pert JUNE ALLYSON got her start. They can watch her in one of several Vitaphone Brevities at Warner Bros. This is the second one I've seen pairing her with ungainly HAL Le ROY, a dancer from the Ray Bolger school of Terpsichore.
The plot is a silly trifle about a daydreaming girl who talks to billboards (yep, that's practically the whole plot), especially since there's a huge one right outside her window of Sir Galahad. He's about to be painted over by a young man on a scaffold. The two engage in conversation, he dances around on the thin plank, she sings a little, he invites her to the Signpainter's Ball, and uses a ladder to get her away from her apartment where she tells him she's trapped because she hasn't paid her rent.
Story ends at the ball, where he does his own daffy bit of dancing and she joins in.
June smiles through it all, does a little singing and dancing (very little), and it's all over in twenty minutes.
Summing up: Only good for a glimpse of early Allyson. Strictly corn, the kind that was abundantly on display in all of these Vitaphone Brevities.
