...nation's eight greatest show-song writing teams working for him. Spectators are still trying to remember how the Rodgers & Hart tune goes when the band begins playing an even better one by George & Ira Gershwin. There is Gracie Barrie to keep the good songs ringing clear, Buxom Mitzi Mayfair to strut the hot numbers, Paul Haakon to leap through the smooth ones. There is Bert Lahr, the most emphatic comedian on the revue stage, as a noisy Hollywood actor trying to chisel out of paying his income tax and as an over-manly baritone in a hickory shirt...
...plot, sadly enough, as before said, takes life seriously. It is a portrayal of Franz Shubert's hopeless passion for a beautiful young daughter of an Austrian jeweler. Shubert, a shy and awkward lover, finds a vent for his love in his songs to the fair Mitzi, but their new-found romance is nipped in the bud by a hapless misunderstanding.

Mitzi Mayfair displays her pretty pertness in many guady vehicles, but perhaps to best advantage in the role of a little old lavender lady, who is pleasantly ruffled by Gil Lamb, the man with the ludicrously disjointed skeleton. Bert Lahr is everything comical from the outdoor man who rhapsodizes on the uses of wood, to the juggler of jazz who squeezes all the latest kinder-gartenish pranks in noise into one amazing...
...this week on the screen in a musical show entitled "Sweet Music." For those who enjoy his singing the picture will prove entertaining, for he bursts into song about every ten minutes. The plot is unexciting, but thoroughly innocuous. The stage show is good and features Mitzi Green, who given several excellent imitations of screen stars. The chorus presents some good dance routines and the stage show is livened up by some really funny comedians...
