The usual Sidney/Murray, Jewish/Irish business rivalry is downplayed in this "Cohens and Kellys" entry, the filmmakers paying more attention to Foster's devotion to aspiring actress Clyde. With father Sidney owning a movie house, son Foster finagles a screen test for his beloved, and soon
Clyde is a popular screen star. She forgets her former beau when faced with affluent living and socialite friends, but returns to Foster when her popularity fades with the advent of sound in cinema. Boris Karloff, Tom Mix, Lew Ayres, Sidney Fox, and Genevieve Tobin appear in cameo roles in the
Cocoanut Grove restaurant, where the film-struck families visit to gawk at celebrities.
