In the Tap! Appendix for Dorothy Babb ("Dottie"; b. '26, credits include Member of the Jivin' Jacks and Jills), Roland Dupree ("Frenchy"; b. '25, credits include Member of the Jivin' Jacks and Jills). We have plenty of kids tapping here.
Since I don't like kid acts, this doesn't get my endorsement. It reminded me a lot of Gypsy ('62), while it was showing Baby/Dainty June and her chorus boys/then girls. Ultimately BC gets shut down by child labor laws, but stumbles upon Radio in its infancy (a crude box with headsets).
Not sure where the Comedy was (one of the Genres). Ned Sparks provides comic relief, but that doesn't mean it's a comedy.
Paramount, dir. Del Ruth; 6
