What happens

On with the Show! is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) pre-Code musical film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. Filmed in two-color Technicolor, the film became the first all-talking, all-color feature-length film, and the second color film released by Warner Bros.; the first was the partly color musical The Desert Song (1929). On January 1, 2025, the film's copyright expired, resulting in the film entering the public domain. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
