Plot Synopsis

The story of a humble girl's (Renee Ray) rise to stage fame. Mops is a waitress who becomes a successful singer and marries writer Frank Dale. The supporting cast is adequate and plenty of music and songs are included. Michael Powell recalled this final Westminster production as 'real schmaltz'.
