What happens

Showgirl in Hollywood is a 1930 American pre-Code musical film with Technicolor sequences, produced and distributed by First National Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Pictures. The film stars Alice White, Jack Mulhall, and Blanche Sweet. It was adapted from the 1929 novel Hollywood Girl by J.P. McEvoy. Al Jolson, Ruby Keeler, Noah Beery, Walter Pidgeon, and Loretta Young make cameo appearances in the final reel, which was photographed in Technicolor. Showgirl in Hollywood is a sequel to the 1928 Warner Bros. silent film Show Girl, which starred Alice White as Dixie Dugan.
