Loosely adapted from Watters & Hopkins' play, Burlesque, which ran on Broadway in 1927, Swing High, Swing Low somehow fails to give the spectacle of a wind instrument expert keeping a stiff upper-lip the emotional intensity which it no doubt deserves.

But she was a sensible woman, after all. She let him go, got over it somehow, then set about making the new play a success. In one of the best bits of acting in her career she made a triumphant comeback, incidentally showing up the young actress for whom Tom had left her. Tom came crawling back, but Julia was really cured. After the first performance...
