Fred's twinking toes do credit, in this performance, to his international reputation it is rather a shame, however, that the audience cannot be spared the antics of Alice Gracie Allen Brady and Everett Horton which come in between dances.
The scenes presenting a laquacions English waiter are very amusing, and the songs. "Let's Knock Knees." "Needle in a Raystack." "The Continental," and Cole Porter's now classic "Night and Day" are effective. Miss Rogers' gorgeous lumbs are hidden beneath graceful gowns, which is too bad for Miss Rogers and Miss Rogers' fans.
