Promising Pictures Featured at Local 7heaters
TTBBETT STARRED
 IN POLL FEATURE
Metropolitan, Offering Musical, and Romantic
 Scenes, Opens Today

For sheer musical merit, no more
 distinguished picture has ever come
 from Hollywood than the Lawrence
 Tibbett starring vehicle, 'sMetrCpoli-
 tan," which begins its engagement
 at the Poli theater today.
 But Metropolitan" doesn't rest
 on music alone.
 The picture which presents Tib-
 bett in selections from such operatic favorites as 'Pagliacci, Carmen" and Barber of Seville, also has well-rounded plot, an
 expressing love story, drama and its full share of comedy.
 The plot of Metropolitan" re- wolves about Tibbett's efforts as a young singer to gain recognition. Impatient with slow progress in the recognized opera companies, he attaches himself to wildcat grand opera venture, starring Alice Brady, a tempestuous and ver- tiginous prima donna.
 She controls the money, holds the affection of the angel, but be- cause Tibbet fails to reciprocate her affection his career and that of the entire company is threat
 ened. His affection for Virginia Bruce only makes matters worse. Finally Miss Brady leaves the company in
 huff. Stranded, Tibbett makes a
 heroic effort to put the company
 across, almost fails, and finally
 succeeds with Miss Bruce's aid.
 On the same program will be
 found the usual high-clsss enter
 tainment of the best selected short
 subjects. Every Wednesday even ing there will be a gala stage show
 of vaudeville which now has be-
 come very popular. A double fea-
 ture screen program and 5 acts of
 vaudeville at no advanced price.
