Harry Richman was a major stage and radio star of the 1930s, but his overbearing personality never clicked in films.
Amused by the troupe's ineptitude in presenting a "serious" Civil War drama, Harry arranges for Susanna and her fellow thespians to appear in his Broadway revue as a comedy act.
But when Susanna finds out she and her father are being made to look like fools in front of the sophisticated New York audience, she upbraids the roaring crowd, punches Harry in the mouth, and storms offstage.

 The Squall (1929)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Perhaps the most natural performance is rendered by Za-Su Pitts as Lena, the house servant, whose boy friend, Peter, is the first to fall.
The big Harry Cording, with a ferocious expression but light voice and select English, essays Peter excellently when he is not talking.
She basically gives almost the same performance as she would have in a silent, but since she was always an introverted actress it comes across as less jarring than some other talkie debuts.
