Varsity Show (1937) Dick Powell, Fred Waring, Priscilla Lane

Winfield College students who are trying to put together the annual varsity show come into conflict with their faculty adviser, a stodgy old professor whose ideas are hopelessly out of date, and who won t even let the new swing music be played in the show. They decide to get ahold of a former student who is now a big Broadway star and have him direct their show. What they don t know is that this star s last three shows were big flops.
