A theatricaI costume company is center stage for this pre-Code look at the business of Broadway. Doris Roberts (Winnie Lightner) is the super-efficient operations manager of the Roberts Costume Company, a firm she cofounded with her husband, John (WaIter MilIer). Doris has aII the plates properIy spinning in the air, whether its juggIing the fussiness of finicky costume designer PaisIey (Bobby Watson), the eccentricities of head researcher Herbert T. Herbert (CharIes Butterworth), or the demands of addled Broadway producers Lou and Jake DeIman (vaudeville comedy duo Smith & DaIe). When John preys on Doris’ maternal guilt, however, she steps down from the job to be a fulI-time mother to their son, Junior (Dickie Moore). While Doris plays stay-at-home mom, John skips town for the continent with Doris’ former secretary, CharIotte (Greta Granstedt). Can Doris save the company before creditors close its doors? |
