In her third New York recital

numbers, the Charrada, an almost

province of Salamanca, and one
of the richest and most beautiful

Someone told her she could see

Picture
Here Friday

Bing Crosby's genuine talent
for comedy, which has been re-
ceiving more and more pro-
nounced attention in each of his
recent pictures, finally is &C.
corded its just due in his new
Paramount picture, Here Is My
Heart" which opens at Warner
Bros. Earle Theater Friday.
Supported by an able cast that
includes Kitty Carlisle, Alison
Skipworth, Roland Young and
Reginald Owen, Crosby not only
MARBLES his way to triumph with
his unique singing voice in the
new picture, but contributes a
splendid comedy performance as
we'll.
The story, freely adapted from
the frivolous play by Alfred Sa-
voir, is that of a millionaire
crooner in search of fun. He
falls seriously and incurably in
love at the first sight of an
eXpatriated Russian princess.
Kitty Carlisle, who was first
teamed with Crosby in "She
Loves Me Not" exercises her
charm and singing voice to even
greater advantage in Here Is
My Heart" Roland Young and
Reginald Owen are superbly cast
as the two dukes.
Ralph Ranger and Leo Robin,
who have been having phenome-
nal success with their recent
tunes, contribute a new series,
including several which are des-
tined to become hits. The best
are with Every Breath I Take"
and June in January"
On the stage the Earle will pre-
sent, as its headliner, Sylvia
Froos, Sweetheart of the Blues"
and favorite of stage, screen
and radio. She will be heard in
group of popular tunes. The
Salici Marionettes, IL puppet
masters who offer comedy, drama
and music, and other acts will
complete the bill.
The Earle Orchestral Overture,
directed by Freddy Clark and fea-
turing Bert Granoff. selected
short subjects and the newsreel
round out the program.

one of the best attractions of.

lesque Association.
Mr.. Bedini is his usual self,
versatile. entertaining man
who can take various roles and
do we'll by them.
Gerard and Marco were the
surprise hit of the evening. This
team sang and the house went
wild. They stopped the show.
There was no encore, though
this team should most certainly
have one prepared.
Miss Ann Norton, featured
guest star, also rated some vo-
ciferous applause. Miss Norton
is quite good-looking and her
singing is better than that Of
most featured women.
June and Margie White, two
blonde sisters, were quite a hit
with their number which went
over in unusually good style.
The comics are outstanding,
Harry Seymour, Coo Coo Norris
sey and Eddie Blisland. with
plenty of help from Mr.. Bedini,
rating much laughter.
Miss loan Dare held over from
last weeks show, appears in two
numbers.
Miss Dare is quite an eyeful and
her act is worth the price of ad-
mission.
The chorus is good-looking and
we'll costumed. The stage settings
are quite good and the whole show
moves with lively and entertain
ing tempo. R. S.

Candy Man Statistics

Just outside the lobby of the
Earle Theater is a five-cent candy
peddler, a World War veteran
who can tell pretty much what
his business of the week will be by
looking at the marquee sign. His
best customers are men, there
fore he has a preference for the
James Cagney features or those
which have a strong appeal for the
robust sex.
His business for the last three
months has been exceptionally
good because the Earle's pictures
have included some real box office
winners, broadway Bill" looks as
though 1t might ring up a new
cash record for him to start the

Men buy more candy because

to indulge their craving.
