Hit of the Show (1928)
For fifteen years, vaudeville comedian "Twisty" has struggled for his big break, holding onto nothing but faith—and a small ivory elephant charm he believes brings him luck. One day, he’s summoned to the office of big-time producer Greening, certain that his moment has finally come.
