Skelly and Powell form a vaudeville team and success brings them to New York. Skelly is over- shadowed by Powell. When fate re- moves Powell, Skelly is lost for a while but finally discovers his own latent talents and Fay Wray dis- covers that Powell's fascination was not really love. Glimpse Behind Story “Behind the Make-Up” is a glimpse into the lives of the peo- ple who make the laughs on the stage and its scenes include sketch- es of quaint old New Orleans, New York brightlights, back-stage dress- ing rooms and luxurious gambling alons. Kay Francis and Paul Lukas have important roles. Miss Francis ap- pears as the sophisticated adven- turess in “Behind the Make-Up.” Lukas gives a smart touch to sev- eral luxurious scenes. { There is music and laughter and ayety in this realistic story.
