Stage Training, he has added Addi.

Held Over

HollyWood's favorite yarn this
spring seems to be the one about
the richest girl in the world. And
it seems also, according to the
many times repeated formula that
this always devastatingly lovely)
young Miss is a poor sport, too
petted and spoiled.
In the goth Century-Fox Of
fering "On the Avenue" Made
leine Carroll is called upon to be
the aforementioned wealthy dar-
ling of the gods of money and pos
sessions.
Opposite her is Dick Powell,
who portrays Gary Blake, song
writer, playwriter, and playboy.
Every plot is built from a triangle
so in order to complete this one
We have Miss Alice Faye cast as
the other woman.
Through a series of well-eXe-
cuted song and dance routines
we are able to discover that it's
all about this wealthy lass and
the personally attractive playboy.
Terribly angered and hurt with
him at first, she finds after an
evening together she is very much
in love.
But along comes the other
woman to throw a wrench in the
plans and all looks dark until
the o. w. fesses UP and paves
the way for loves true young
dreams.
Powell and Faye put over a
particularly pleasing array of
Irving Berlin's tunes. The comedy
has been entrusted to the three
insane Ritz brothers, who are
wilder than ever. Cora Wither,

laughs in an eccentric part.

With Tiny Bradshaw, versatile
interprelator of jazz grooming in

for its elegant comedy and gags.
The Turk, who eats the wed

Rival Reporters
Edmund Lowe and Madge

trail Of a big and hard-to-break
story, contribute comedy and ro-
nance to the action. Paul Lukas,
as the munitions king, and KEITH

work we'll deserving of praise.
The story is given an exciting
and romantic background, a great
part of the action taking place
on the Paris-Istanbul express.
The climax takes place in SwitZer-

hero and heroine heading back to

The hssome Miss Shaw is still

Grace Moore
At the Met

Grace Moore in "When You're
in Love" brought capacity crowds
to the Metropolitan last evening as
she began a third week at the
downtown theaters. The vivacious
and charming Metropolitan Opera
star lends delightful personality
to her screen portrayals, especially
the ease and beauty Of her sing
ing.
Few if any artists Of today have
the rare grace and sincerity which
makes her music so beautiful.
when You're in Love" is notable
in that it provides a number OF
songs for the blond diva running
from an aria from ToSca to a hot
syncopated rendition of Minnie
the Moocher." Perhaps it is the
combination of Miss Moore's voice
and Schubert'S Serenade that
makes this solo seem about as per.
feet as music can be but that in
no way underestimates single
golden note from any selection.
In other words, Miss Moore's voice
is unsurpassed in the cinema.
Cary Grant plays opposite the
star, bringing new type to the
foreground as leading man, par
ticularly a leading man in an
operatic offering. Grant is
rather typical American. judging
from his attitude toward life in
general. Aline Mcmahon and
Henry Stephenson assist ma
terially in presenting the rather
trite story.
