DeMille the producer quotes, “this play has an air of good will to it, a gay mood of laughter and romance that few motion pictures have matched. It’s a story of a little group of people who work together in a certain little shop around the corner, a kind of world in itself where there’s a share of good and bad luck for everyone.”
