Made in the early years of the movie musical, this lavish revue was one of Hollywood’s most extravagant and technically ambitious productions. It stars bandleader Paul Whiteman, then hailed as the “King of Jazz,” and borrows Broadway‑style sketches and orchestral numbers. Highlights include performances by the Rhythm Boys—featuring a young Bing Crosby—and other variety acts, all staged under veteran theater director John Murray Anderson.
