A hectic and high-kicking comic dance duet for Fred Astaire and Vera-Ellen - choreographed by Hermes Pan and featuring the hurdling lift - which is set in a suburban family living room and portrays the various challenges of contented domesticity. The routine, which, in contrast to the previous one, is thoroughly modern in conception, is nonetheless shown performed at the Keith's Theatre (which later became the K in RKO) in Washington, D.C. in the presence of President Woodrow Wilson, a noted vaudeville fan.

2:49-2:55 continuity error. Fred pushes the toaster off the table, but then it isn't on the floor.
One for Robert Webb's endlessly repeated TV shitfest, perhaps.
Hope not.

A Cute number. As usually both Fred and Vera-Ellen are at the top of their game. One question: Did throwing the baby 'round the room constitue play time?
