"Let's Be Common!"

Here's a clip from an early Ernst Lubitsch musical, The Love Parade. I found the leads, Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald, a bit so-so, but thought this duet between Lupino Lane and Lillian Roth was pretty nifty (they play a butler and a maid to the principal characters):
