Creases and Curves
6 December 2014
Annual Mardi Gras celebrations are in full swing for brunette singer Lillian Roth (as Julie) and boyfriend Weldon Heyburn (as Bob). They take a break from the festivities and visit his reclusive old uncle George Houston (as Andy). The elderly man mistakes Ms. Roth for his long-lost sweetheart. This leads to flashbacks with Roth playing "Emmy Lou" during Mr. Houston's youthful showboating days. Back in the present and feeling sentimental, Houston agrees to leave his mansion. Also venturing out, love-starved sister Queenie Smith finds a bench and receives her first romantic kisses from young Jack Good. While secondary, they steal the show until a final production number in which shapely females fill the screen with enough back-lighting to see many of their creases and curves.
