Gossip columnist Eddie Bruce introduces three musical acts (click the Soundtrack icon for the list), followed by a vaudeville routine.
In 1932-1933, Vitaphone made six "Rambling 'Round Radio Row" shorts--all produced by Jerry Wald and many featuring him playing himself. However, here, Wald is no where to be found and the short is very different from previous ones. While the others ONLY featured singing acts, this one has some comedians as well--with an emcee who THOUGHT he was funny--and tried very hard with some corn-ball jokes. As a result, it's a very, very tedious film with really nothing to recommend it.
Apart from a lot of unlikable material, you do get a chance to see the character actor, Gene Lockhart (father of June Lockhart). So, all the Lockhart groupies can watch this one--but the other 99.999997% of the viewers can steer clear of this one.
