On the Avenue 87 years old

YOU DON'T CARE WHAT THEY DO...IF THEY'LL ONLY KEEP ON DOING IT -IT'S THAT KIND OF SHOW!

On the Avenue

A new Broadway show starring Gary Blake shamelessly lampoons the rich Carraway family. To get her own back, daughter Mimi sets out to ensnare Blake, but the courtship is soon for real, to the annoyance of his co-star, hoofing chanteuese Mona Merrick.
