An Entertaining Musical The show has gained popularity as a great musical that is comparatively shorter than the other shows. It has duration of 1 hour forty minutes and it begins with the voice of the man, who plays the record of a 1920 musical that brings his studio alive. The man in the chair was blue and decided to cheer himself by playing his favorite musical. The same day, Janet Van de Graaff and Robert Martin are to be wed. She is a top star and her producers and investors in her show do not want her to quit. The maid of honor is the drowsy chaperone, who has been assigned the task of keeping the bride and the groom apart. Janet herself is in doubt, wondering if her decision to get married and quitting showbiz is the right choice for her. She seeks counsel from her maid of honor, who drowsily asks her not to ask Robert if he loves her. This in fact makes Janet disguise herself as a French girl and when Robert kisses her thinking that she is indeed a French girl, she calls off the wedding.
