Summary:

A timid stenographer removes her glasses and - wow - she's a star. A gee-whiz tenor asserts his independence. Plucky chorines tap, greedy hangers-on get their comeuppances, and an indefatigable producer/dancer and his Girl Friday work showbiz miracles to stage live prologues for talkie houses to keep their company afloat during hard times.
