called 'Glorifying the American Girl' from 1929. It was about a Ziegfeld show of the same name. Funny this should come up today after I watched it this afternoon.

someone must have kicked it to where it showed up on my feed. I like seeing old film. And it kind of feels appropriate being from 1927 and with the economy about to crash.
