Devine, William Gargan
Directed by David Butler

Runtime: 96 min.
Genre: musical
Print quality: B

In this musical, the only one singer/dancer Alice Faye, made for Universal,
a Broadway producer is in a quandary when he discovers that the
opening of his newest big production coincides with that of a major
charity event. He despairs that the show will close after opening night
until an ingenious writer suggests that he simply give the production
snob-appeal by making the tickets nearly impossible to get by fabricating
a story that they were all purchased by a flamboyant Texas oil baron who
is totally besotted by the show's star, Faye. Unfortunately things go
haywire when a young fellow suggests that the writer (who impersonates
the oilman) sign to a lucrative advertising contract. Songs include:
"You're a Sweetheart," "My Fine Feathered Friend," "Who Killed
Maggie?" "Scraping the Toast" and "So It's Love."

COWBOY IN MANHATTAN

Starring Frances Langford, Robert Paige, Leon Errol, Walter Catlett, Joe
Sawyer, Will Wright
Directed by Frank Woodruff

Print: black/white
Runtime: 56 min.
Genre: musical
Print quality: B

Robert Paige plays a struggling songwriter who poses as a millionaire
cowboy. It's all part of a zany, wacky and nutty scheme to win the hand and
heart of Broadway star Frances Langford. Apparently Paige is a fast
worker, since the film runs only 54 minutes. If one looks closely, one
might deduce that Cowboy in Manhattan has traces of an earlier Universal
musical. That it does.
