Meet Me on Broadway is a pocket Columbia musical about aspiring
performers and a shoestring production (though the dialogue is careful
to include a reference to Columbia's Cover Girl, just to prove that the
studio was capable of an "A" product). Fred Brady plays an overbearing
director who has been blackballed by Broadway and must settle for
staging country-club charity events. Marjorie Reynolds plays the
daughter of the country club's owner, who helps Brady mount his Big
Comeback Show—which has the ancillary effect of making stars of the
whole cast. Jinx Falkenberg is the show's leading lady, while Spring
Byington and Gene Lockhart are around as stuffy society types who un-
stuff themselves by film's end. Among the performers are the dance team
of Gloria Patrice and Nita Bieber, who enjoyed a better showcase in the
concurrently filmed Columbia "Three Stooges" short Rhythm and Weep
(46).
