Synopsis: Rick Foster is opening a Broadway show but is having problems with both money and his leading lady. Enter Mary Collins, an aspiring actress from New Rochelle, plus "Legs" Ruby, a Damon Runyon-type bookie who is on the run from the mob. Just as all appears lost, a financial "angel" appears with the money to do the show, and Mary gets her big chance at stardom. The play is filled with fascinating character roles, including the "Donald O’Connor-type" pianist,  Betty the Virginia belle in the chorus, and a bevy of chorus girls, gangsters and other assorted characters... The Cohan songs are among his most memorable: "Give My Regards To Broadway," "You’re A Grand Old Flag," "Mary’s A Grand Old Name" and many more.
