Synopsis

A fast-moving series of musical sketches riffs on post–World War I life: fashion crazes, international idealism, and after-hours amusements. Comic scenes flow into showcase dances and specialty turns, with chorus ensembles linking episodes. Satirical songs like “The League of Nations,” romantic interludes such as “Poppyland,” and atmosphere pieces like “Limehouse Nights” create a revue portrait of modern city glamour and foibles, favoring wit, melody, and visual spectacle over a single narrative.
