How Do They Think Of These Titles?

Leon Errol's vaudeville show comes to a small town where Irving Bacon is the heroic sheriff, and where school teacher Noah Beery Jr. And bandit Leo Carrillo compete for Errol;s daughter, singer Martha O'Driscoll.

One of at least eight movies with the same name, this 57-minute musical comedy western is more interested in showing us Shaw & Lee doing one of their stage acts, and Dorothy Granger singing one of the movie' three songs. It's unassuming, and director Jean Yarborough doesn't stand in the way of the silliness.

Not your ordinary B western.

This is actually a bright, fast moving musical comedy that just happened to be set in a small western town, filmed nicely on the Universal lot on their standing western town set. It surrounds corruption in that town and the hypocrisy of the townsfolk who want to keep a traveling theatrical troop from appearing at their music hall. Martha O'Driscoll is their singing star who befriends schoolteacher Noah Beery in spite of the overly moral female elders of the town, too stuck in their ways to even attend a rehearsal.

O'Driscoll's father is played by the legendary rubber legged Leon Errol who really doesn't get much to do. The troop's vaudeville numbers are rather bizarre but O'Driscoll's songs are well performed although she has a rather modern way of singing her ballads. There's also Ian Keith as the Shakespeare quoting member of the troop, Leo Carrillo as a typical Latin bandit and Irving Bacon as the town's sheriff who finally has enough and stands up to the town prigs to get the show on the road. Not bad for a B western programmer although I'd have liked more of Errol's antics.

Interesting B Western

Leo Carillo before TV... and playing laughably the most dangerous hand in the West. But to old film buffs the most incredible scene is the run away stage scene, early on in the movie.. where they film right through a terrible Horse stumble and fall and use the un edited footage
