...stage, Joan Blondell heads an extensive stage show. Peggy Ryan and Ray MacDonald present a number of cute dance routines and Bert Wheeler gives an amusing recitation of "What is a Boy!" Singer Eddie Fisher does remarkable things with a voice worn thin by overwork--or emotion. Hank Ladd and the Marino Sisters, three acrobats with plenty of bounce to the ounce, round out the cast...
