Plot

Glorifying the American Girl
1929
This Ziegfeld production centers on a young girl's dream to make it to Broadway as a Follies girl. After leaving home for New York City, our starlet works at the music sheet counter of a department store where she is discovered by a vaudeville dancer looking for a partner. This begins her journey to fame and fortune. This film features numerous cameos during the final show including Ring Lardner, Mayor Jimmy Walker, Adolph Zukor as well as Flo Ziegfeld and his wife Billie Burke.

Check and Double Check
1933
This first and only appearance of the radio stars of Amos 'N' Andy reprising their roles on the big screen. Amos (Freeman Gosden) and Andy (Charles Correll) are trying to make a success of their "open-air" taxi service when they get mixed-up in some nonsense while driving musicians to a high society ball. This film not only allowed audiences to finally put a face to the voice they had been hearing on the radio but they also were introduced to Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club Orchestra.
