The 1931 edition was a lavish, two-act Broadway musical revue. It was known for its emphasis on large, extravagant chorus lines, and its glamorous, scantily-clad showgirls.

Maclyn Arbuckle (1866–1931) was a notable American stage and silent film character actor well known for his robust, heavy-set physical presence and command of early twentieth-century theater. He was the brother of actor Andrew Arbuckle and the cousin of iconic silent film comedian Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.
