Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWilliam Frawley and Charles Winninger really were veteran vaudevillians, each having played on the stage, in the early 1900's.
- GoofsIn the production number ("I Found a Peach on the Beach") at the end of the nightclub act, Lucy and Ethel are singing a line with the words, "We'll make a peach of a pair". On the last repeat of this line, the arrangement calls for them to leave out the last word ("pair'), as the music changes for a brief dance step. Ethel (Vivian Vance) remembers only at the last minute, and begins to sing the word anyway.

Featured review
Cute
I think this was a cute and sweet episode. I think it showed what could have happened to some of the former vaudeville entertainers. I enjoyed mertz and kurtz. The act at the tropicana looked fun and entertaining as I believe that's how a lot of these acts went back in the 1920s. So this was a throwback for some and new to the people who didnt get to see it. The girls were cute in the act. Plus it was sweet that the grandson was so proud of his grandpa. I always enjoy i love Lucy and they honestly opened doors in television that people can understand by watching and learning through laughter, watching and listening.
