A 1929 musical comedy, originally in two-color Technicolor.
 
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
This film nearly became a [[Missing Episode]]. It was originally filmed in two-strip Technicolor, but only one color sequence still exists -- most of the "Wild Wild Rose" number and a snatch of Connie after that -- and some of that sequence appears to be missing the green strip. The rest of it exists in black and white, making it possible for us to see the film, and the sound remains intact. Its importance is more as a historical curiosity -- there aren't ''that'' many pre-Hays Code musicals out there, even ones as innocent as this -- than as a work of art.

=== '''Tropes''': ===
*[[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: the apparent reason Sally is bad at waitressing and bussing.
*[[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Connie. We hope.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
*[[Love At First Sight]]
*[[No OSHA Compliance]]: Connie's restaurant has one table for two on a platform above the restaurant's stage which can be accessed only by a long, skinny, flexible ladder. This set-up is milked for all its worth with one couple.
*[[Paper -Thin Disguise]]
*[[Purity Sue]]: Sally. Every character who takes the time to know her, and some who don't, loves her. Once she gets a foothold into showbiz, she skyrockets; it's literally debuting at the restaurant to appearance at an engagement party to the Ziegfeld Follies!
*[[Ruritania]] (past tense -- the Commies did take over)
