A little entry from the RKO shorts department serving also as an audition-type (stick 'em in one of these and see if they appeal to a real audience, and make a buck or two at the same time)film for studio contractees and budding starlets.

And soon made for themselves, with studio help, rather nice Hollywood careers.
