After Warner’s 42nd Street proved such a surprise hit in 1933, the musical floodgates opened once again at the various studios who had sworn off musicals for the previous three years. Now, everyone was jumping on the backstage musical bandwagon, and Fox Pictures was no different mounting King of Burlesque for Oscar-winner Warner Baxter and its rising singing star Alice Faye. With a snappy score, some nifty comic foolishness, and a decent plot on which to hang the song and dance numbers, King of Burlesque proved a popular hit (and with a plot 20th Century Fox would use again less than a decade later for Hello, Frisco, Hello also starring Alice Faye).
