"PigskinParade moves down the entertainment field with gusto and éclat,emerging as a genuinely funny burlesque of football and its musicalcomedy concomitants....We don't say that Pigskin Parade deserves a Nobelprize or anything so solid, but it is good fun and almost everyone butthe Yalies should like it." (New York Times, 1936) Incidentally,The Yacht Club Boys sing their own compositions.
