Marion Davies and Robert Montgomery are featured in this backstage comedy about a poor girl who makes it as a Ziegfeld Follies star--with added income from an “elderly admirer” who sets her up with apartment and clothes. She is love with Robert Montgomery, as is her best friend (Billie Dove). (Both Davies and Dove were Ziegfeld girls in their pre-movie days.)
Comedy is provided by Zasu Pitts and Jimmy Durante, the latter popping in irrelevantly and irreverently, doing one of his “disa and data” routines and impersonating John Barrymore to Davies' Greta Garbo in a wonderful spoof on Grand Hotel, which also happens to have been directed by Goulding.
