Bandleader Ted Barry (Frederick Brady) arrives at the Heavenly Gates. He's interviewed by gate keeper Mr. Frisbie from Public Relations, but he seems uninformed about Barry. He's brought inside by angel Joy to the Hall of Music where he must prove his worth before the icons of the past.
It's an MGM short that actually won an Oscar. I do have an issue with the premise. The entry test has nothing to do with morality, but it's all about the value of his music. That seems to go against western moral values. Otherwise, this is fine. The music is fine. I like the little section where Barry points out music being copied from previous icons. It's fine.
