The home of On the Good Ship Lollipop. Airship, that is. The only renditions of the song occur on a mail ship. No musical fantasy at all. No dancing.

Director Butler did several ST films, and later at WB several Doris Day films. Of his 59 (68?) talkies, 38 are music or musicals.

Fox Film Corp, dir. Butler; 6-
