What happens
Merry-Go-Round of 1938 is a 1937 American comedy film directed by Irving Cummings and written by Monte Brice and A. Dorian Otvos. The film stars Bert Lahr, Jimmy Savo, Billy House, Alice Brady, Mischa Auer, Joy Hodges, Louise Fazenda, John 'Dusty' King and Barbara Read. The film was released on November 14, 1937, by Universal Pictures. Merry-Go-Round of 1938 was the first (and last) of a proposed series of films spotlighting Broadway talent. Three headliners from the Great White Way, comedian Bert Lahr, pantomime Jimmy Savo, and monologist Billy House team with veteran Hollywood scene stealer Mischa Auer. The storyline has our four heroes taking care of a cute little girl, but the plot is forgotten amidst a series of choice specialty acts. Universal took a bath with Merry-Go-Round of 1938, which explains why there wasn't a Merry-Go-Round of 1939. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
