In this short is a hilarious gag in which Warren Foster, the writer, uses the same piece of animation all over again. The sequence is extremely bathos. In what appears to be upwardly mobile in Bugs Bunny's career, there is a sign marquis, then music, the curtain rises, and Bugs Bunny and the Chorus Boys walk on stage, singing and dancing, "Oh we are the boys of the chorus. We hope you like us so. We know you're rooting for us, but now we have to go." Then a different sign will appear on the screen, and then the dance sequence is repeated. This gag was repeated at the end, after Bugs tells the press about his first big feature, givng the short a funny anticlimax.
