Playmates

Directed by David Butler

With Kay Kyser, John Barrymore, Lupe Vélez, Patsy Kelly and Ginny Simms

Lulu Monahan, the press agent for John Barrymore, is attempting to get a sponsor for a radio program. To that end, she and the agent for bandleader Kay Kyser, plant a story that the great Shakespearean actor, over his heartfelt objections, will teach Kyser how to play Shakespeare, which isn't the same as playing Paducah, which soon becomes evident.
