Sing and Like It

Annie Snodgrass (ZaSu Pitts) has a voice that could shatter glass, but try telling that to moonstruck gangster boss Fenny (Nat Pendleton). So entranced is Fenny by Annie's rendition of a sentimental "Mother" song that he tries to force the public to accept her as a big star. He even pulls a gun on a prominent music critic to ensure an excellent review! Despite her eardrum-shattering warblings, Annie actually becomes a star on her own merits, while Fenny finally lands a long-term engagement of his own as a guest of the State. Contributing to the overall zaniness of Sing and Like It are Pert Kelton as Fenny's put-upon gun moll and Edward Everett Horton as an intimidated Broadway producer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
