Portrait of a very young, and mustachioed, Fred Astaire, as he appeared in the musical review, which had music by Arthur Schwartz, lyrics by Howard Dietz, and a book by Dietz and George S. Kaufman. Astaire was to make his movie debut in 1933 in DANCING LADY, followed soon after by FLYING DOWN TO RIO.
