built 186 days ago
"Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon and Ruby Keeler play a trio of unemployed showgirls who are thrilled when producer Barney Hopkins (Ned Sparks) informs them he's about to start a new show. The problem is that he doesn't have a penny, but Brad Roberts (Dick Powell), a songwriter who is mad for Polly (Keeler) does, and lends Sparks $15,000 to get 'Forgotten Melody' off the ground. The show goes into rehearsal, with Brad taking one of the roles, but the girls wonder if his money is clean, except for Polly, who just knows he's legit. Of course he is. In fact, he's the scion of a wealthy Beacon Hill family; ... his brother, J. Lawrence (Warren William), and a lawyer, Faneuil Hall Peabody (Guy Kibbee), arrive from Boston to put an end to Brad's frivolousness.
