Varsity Show (film)

Varsity Show is a 1937 American musical film directed by William Keighley from a script by Jerry Wald, Richard Macaulay, Warren Duff and Sig Herzig and starring Dick Powell, Fred Waring and Waring's Pennsylvanians, Ted Healy, and Priscilla Lane.

The film follows a group of students at fictional Winfield College who butt heads with their faculty advisor while producing the annual Varsity Show.

They decide to enlist help from an alumnus, Chuck Daly (Dick Powell), who is now a Broadway producer, to direct the show.

On learning the Hollywood offer has been withdrawn and in need of money, Daly returns to New York City and signs a contract to perform in another show.

When Waring arrived at the campus he found the Glee Club conductor was ill but his replacement was Robert Shaw.
