- Abstract
- The first major Broadway production in which eccentric comedy tap dancer Ray Bolger is featured. He sings and dances with Dixie Dunbar in "You're a Builder-Upper"; offers his interpretation of a Max Baer-Primo Carnera fight; and takes his work home in "A Window Dresser Goes to Bed."
One New York critic commented "He is an engaging comedian whose dancing never fails to steam up the audience." - Source
