Hilarious scheming, love, lust, and tears end up in 3 unexpected weddings.
Money or love? Princely coat of arms or true feelings? A beating heart in love or the sound of gold coins? Who will find a bride for the prince and get their commissions?

_The Evening Post_, 5 February 1925:
HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE
The return to #vaudeville at His Majesty’s Theatre has proved a popular attraction with #Wellington theatre-goers, and large audiences have been the rule this week. One of the outstanding attractions on a well-balanced programme is the act presented by that popular comedian, Claude Dampier, and his partner, Hilda Attenboro. Others on the bill are Lorna and Lance, the two Australian juveniles, Pic and Alf, comedy acrobats, the Lecardo Brothers, acrobats, Taylor and Summers, musical comedy duo, Sandrisi and Copelli, dancers, the Megan Brothers, musical clowns, and Miss Lena Jooste, a bare-foot sand dancer.

"Our grandparents had Groucho Marx. We have A.J. Rubin, a multi-hyphenate #entertainer, #musician, #circus performer and #unicyclist with a fondness for #Jewish #vaudeville traditions and a contagious enthusiasm—or what he calls “generalized clowning.” He also heads up the #Klezmer Klub, a group devoted to klezmer performance, and AJ Rubin and the Ghost Notes, a six-piece #jazz dance band.

“I’m a collector of arcane skills,” he says. “But, in the Jewish tradition, I’m also a lifelong learner.”

JewishBostonReviving Jewish Vaudeville: A.J. Rubin’s Art of Music, Clowning and InclusivityA.J. Rubin, a CJP and JArts Community Creative Fellow, blends Jewish vaudeville, jazz and circus arts to create performances that lift diverse voices.

Mae Questel (1908 – 1998) was an American actress best known for providing the voices for Betty Boop and Olive Oyl. She was born to an Orthodox Jewish family that actively discouraged her from a career in show business. Nevertheless at the age of 17 she set out to follkw that carreer - first performing in vaudeville as an impersonator. she did impressions of Fanny Brice, Marlene Dietrich, Mae West, Maurice Chevalier and others. Eventually she was seen by animator Max Fleischer, who was looking for an actress to provide the voice for his Betty Boop character. Many years later she reprised her role as Betty Boop in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
She appeared as an actress in several films including A Majority of One, Funny Girl, and Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. She also appeared in. any commercials, most famously as Aunt Bluebell in the Scott Towel ads.
