Briefly the story concerns the trials and tribulations of Ted and Mary to get to Broadway. Sally O'Neil establishes herself as a splendid singing and dancing star in the picture. jack Egan, a vaudeville headliner for the past several years, is admirably cast as Ted. Carmel Myers, as the musical comedy star, adds another triumph to her long list of talking picture successes. A NEW COLLEEN Miss Moore plays a French musical comedy star in "Footlights and Fools." COLLEEN MOORE A FRENCH STAR IN STAGE DRAMA Seldom has Colleen Moore been presented in a picture offering such a wide scope for her talent, and never has she given a more finished performance than in "Footlight and Fools." Whether enacting a pseudo-French actress, with an attitude and an accent both delightfully Parisian, or impersonating a gold-digging Broadway chorus-girl, Colleen is simply splendid. Two leading men play opposite Miss Moore, Raymond Hackett and Frederic March. The plot builds toward a dramatic climax, in which both suitors are involved, and the story ends after a tense scene in which Miss Moore rises to great heights. There are several episodes in Technicolor in "Footlights and Fools," presenting elaborate stage nunbers in which Colleen, gorgeously costumed introduces the songs written for the picture.
