Arizona Days survives in rather choppy condition, but it's rescued by old-timer William Faversham, a legendary touring company Thespian (with a capital "T") who hams it up with delightful abandon as the minstrel show proprietor. On the other end of the scale is Syd Saylor, whose "comedy" is less a relief and rather a nuisance; meanwhile, Ethelind Terry, a minstrel show leading lady, is awarded one single line. There is also the brutal killing of a young child (played by W.C. Fields veteran Tommy Bupp), a rather sobering plot development for a musical Western. Even more disconcerting is the fact that the child's untimely demise has absolutely no impact on the obligatory happy ending ten minutes later.
