Sylvan Simon.Molly and Pat (Joan Blondell and Lana Turner) are sisters in the little town of Rome City, Nebraska, with dreams of hitting it big in show business.

Eddie summons Molly to New York, and Pat tags along.Eddie gets Molly and Pat an audition with his producer.

Death Glare: The look the MC of the radio show gives Eddie, when Eddie, who got on the show by claiming to have a singing canary act, starts singing himself when the canaries don't. (It was a ruse by Eddie to get on the radio.)

Bait-and-Switch: The film opens with a tight closeup on a street sign that says "Broadway"—and then the camera pulls back to reveal that this Broadway is a street in Rome City, NE.
