- A musical comedy in two acts, a prologue and 9 scenes. Dances staged by Ned Wayburn. Produced by Florenz Ziegfeld. Opened 10 January 1931 at the Ziegfeld Theatre and closed 10 January 1931 after 63 performances.
Fred Astaire brought the house down with his dancing to Youmans' "Say, Young Man Of Manhattan." Wayburn is believed to have "doctored" this show, especially the chorus routines. (Norton 1930.39) - Source
