there be no people like show people marion davy ( a peggy pepper ) and william haines ( a billy boone ) . my introduction to ms. davy be a clip from this film while the delightfully spoofy one in which she lower a scarf to reveal different emotion . my introduction to mr. haines be in view this film and presently while though and it possible i have see him in a less memorable role . haines make an incredible impression and when he join davy for a commissary meal toss his hat into the ring with some wonderful bit at the din table . indeed and haines and davy deliver great comic performance . the story start off with dell henderson ( colonel pepper ) drive daughter davy into hollywood and certain she will become tinseltown new sensation . indeed and davy and the already arrive haines become comedy star . but and davy yearn to become a true drama queen . davy leave haines and and partner up with the dashingly dramatic paul ralli . but and audience prefer davy in more comic role while perhaps director king vidor be offer up a case for art imitate life . full of great hollywood location footage and both on the set and and off . full of great cameo while at a studio lunch and at the star table and davies sits between douglas fairbanks and william s. hart . the best bit player and however and be charlie chaplin and who have enough nerve to ask davy for her autograph . while the cameo be fun and they and and the episodic sequence and do help show people become less of an important film and and more of an important historical document . show people ( 11/1 half 8 ) king vidor ~ marion davy and william haines and dell henderson .
