Show Girl In Hollywood (1930) is a musical comedy/drama film with Technicolor sequences, starring Alice White. It was adapted from the novel Hollywood Girl (1929) by J. P. McEvoy.
The film only survives in black and white. The last reel was originally in Technicolor but no color prints seem to have survived.
Al Jolson (and his wife Ruby Keeler), Noah Beery (with his son), Walter Pidgeon, and Loretta Young make a cameo appearance in this film in the final reel, which was photographed in Technicolor.
This film is a sequel of sorts or follow-up to the 1928 Warner Brothers silent Show Girl which first starred Alice White as Dixie Dugan.[1]
