Synopsis: | On their 15th Anniversary, a happy husband makes one wine-inspired mistake. He announces to his in-laws the romancing he and their daughter enjoyed before they were legally bound. The information is received with violent results by outraged grandparents and blase children. The payoff comes at the hilarious second-act curtain. The 13-year-old daughter chooses to tell on air an audience of several dozen million people just what started all the trouble at home. From then on troubles mount, tempers rise, until everything explodes riotously and the play ends on a warm and tender note, all the family having gained a little more understanding of each other. | |||||

The theatre for the Academy of Music which is just about to have a famous Parisian ballet company perform and on the other Niblo's Garden which is about to open a melodrama written by a War vet. Lotta the owner of Niblo's is not happy about the ballet company as she thinks it will take her customers. The star of the ballet Lisette and the manager Maestro meet Lotta and Clyde Hallam the author of the melodrama. Maestro flirts with Lotta - but Clyde and Lisstte fall in love. One day Lisette sneaks out of the ballet rehearsals to watch the melodrama. Maestro arrives and orders her back. He locks her in her dressing room. The Academy catches fire and Lisette is trapped - but Clyde rescues her. With no theatre and no money the ballet troupe prepare to go back to Paris. Clyde goes to the docks to say goodbye to Lisette. Lotta arrives - she has had an idea - what about combining the melodrama with the ballet? Maestro agrees - but Clyde is not happy about his script being tampered with. The first night comes and it is a huge success - the American Musical has been born | |||||

Synopsis: | Harry and Grace Graves have two children-Lois, and Judy, who at 13 has, besides her confidante Fuffy and an amazing capacity for food, a burning desire to grow up to the glamorous age of 16. With characteristic reasoning Judy decides that her father must be in love with the daughter of his boss, affectionately called J.B. It is decided that it is Judy's duty to bring Harry back into the family fold. In addition to saving her family, Judy takes it upon herself to 'save" her Uncle Willis, whom she has never seen until his unexpected arrival on Christmas Eve. Because Uncle Willis' name must never be mentioned in the presence of her mother, Judy decides he has been spending his time in jail. When Judy isn't binding the family ties, she and Fuffy practice walking in their first high-heeled shoes and conspiring to wangle young men to be their escorts for the New Year's dance; the result of all of which practically assures Harry of the loss of the partnership with J.B. However, with circumstances at their worst, there is an unexpected turn, and Judy becomes Miss Judy Graves, a lovely Junior Miss who has her escort for her first dance. | |||||

Eileen is the pretty one-the one who has stage aspirations and the homey personality that innocently invites passes from every man from 14 to 85 who has eyes in his head. Ruth is the plainer one, and her bent is for literature. Well, the two girls. . .land in the toils of Landlord Appopolous and the most distracting apartment you ever saw.
