field musical comedy. offer a pro-
logue to the main feature, in which
they sing the hits from his highly
successful Broadway stage produc-

manner. Jules BledSoe offers OF

chorus with him.
Joseph Schildkraut and Laura La

both are heard talking in the more
important sequences and Show

who is working with an orchestra
with the hope of making a hit in
the musical world. Just as he was
on the verge of being ousted by his
landlady because of his inability to
pay his rent, a pretty chorus star,
played by Nancy Carroll, drives by
and spies him leaving with an
armful Of instruments.
Having been in the same predica-
ment when trying to get foot
hold on the ladder Of stage popular
ity, she pitied him and paid his back
rent. AS a result of his earneStneSs
she then consents to listen in on
one Of his band rehearsals and is
agreeably surprised at the ability Of
his musicians.
She establishes a contact with her
theatre manager which results in q
try-out contract for the boys.
Then real and colorful entertain
ment starts in earnest. The picture
portrays parts Of stage presenta-
ton in one of the nations de luxe
theaters and in reality it is hard to
beat.
The romance which finally brings
the two young lovers together adds
much to the entertainment value of
the picture although many will de-
clare that the musical renditions
are worth the admission price asked
at most any theater.
The bill this week also includes
the second release Of THE Col

BIG THRILLER
NOW AT PALACE

The Voice of the City Willard
Nack's all-talking picture. which
opens today at Loew's Palace, Gre
ates The illusion Of sitting in on a
New York opening night OF Mack'S
stage successes.
The triple-talented Mr. Mack not
only wrote The Voice of the City"
but he also directed it and plays the
principal character role. His work
in that role. an mplacable detective
engaged in a desperate man hunt,
is q gem OF Characterization.
Mack has been writing with such
consistent success for so many years.
A story Of gangdom, it moves with
the rapid pace OF a runaway train
for the entire action, which includes
a iau break. a man hunt, a fake sui
eide. q murder and an unexpected
and dramatic happy ending, takes
place within the space of twenty
four hours. II is filled with Sus-
pense. plot and counterpart. Never
thcleSS it carries a romance as sweet
and appealing and tender as any
out ard out love story.
This delightful, though rather
brcathlesS love story, is interpreted
by Robert Ames, who plays the es-
caDed prisoner. and Sylvia Field.
Mr.. Mack plays the role OF the de-
tective, who eventually gets his man
and at the same time gives him his
freedom. Mack is the same taScl-
mating player on the screen that he
is on the legitimate stage and his
direction of his own story is as fine
A bit of direCtiOnal management as
this reviewer remembers seeing.
Mack has a story to tell, and ne
tells il interestingly. with the re
suit that there is not a draggy mo-
men in it. The tension builds con-
secutiyely until the climax IS
reached. Even the dialog speeds
up the action, rather than retarding
II as is so often the case.
Miss Field, who makes her debut
In this production, having come di-
rectly from the Broadway stage pro-
duction of THE Royal Family" IS
both a beautiful young lady and a
talented actress.
John MILAN, Alice Moe, Clark
Marshall. Duane Thompson. James
Farley, Tom Mcclure and Beatrice
Banyard also are in the cast.
The surrounding film novelties on
the program will include new and
coIorfuI revue, produced by Gus Ed
wards for Metro Movietone, the cast
of which includes George Harris
and Doris Walker of musical COM
coy fame. and Armida, the famous
tango dancer. not to mention a
chorus of Scotch laSsies, japanese
Geisha maids, Russian singers and
Dutch clog dancers.
The entire offering has been
f7lned in technicolor and presents a
pleasing sight to the eye as well as
the ear.
Another Metro Movietone pres
sntation brings quartet of male
voices, singing in harmony, and in
troduced as the Revelers.
The Fox Movietone News, Lester
Huff at the mighty organ and the
