Making Stars (1935)
3/10
Just Not Funny, No Matter What The Color
24 February 2007
Bette presents a show of "future stars," all babies who give us quick vaudeville-type song and dance numbers. They play the spoons are cry to the music. All of the baby acts cry and most of them have to have something to quiet them down as they leave the stage.

One part is definitely racist in that the black babies are lured off by a big watermelon. None of the acts: white, black or Asian are funny, to be honest.

The only one that make me at least smile was the act where babies were doing a Russian dance.

Overall, not of Betty's best.
