is again this week delighting
capacity audiences at the Road
side Theater. My Maryland In
telligence Division reports that
the S. R. o. sign has been hung
up in the last few days with
some frequency.
The present drama is what
might be called a melodrama of
the old school; i. e., the hero is
a saint without halo, while the
villain is deep-dyed with not one
redeeming quality. This sort
of stuff is right down the Road
SiderS' alley and I recommend it
without reservation to students
of the drama, seekers of diver
sion and to married persons and
single ones.
The cast achieves a note
worthy effort in the presenta-

Melody Of 49,
Grand Film

Broadway Melody Of 1888" a
de luxe film musical from the
Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios
was previewed Monday midnight
by the Washington critics. The
cast of Going Native" also were
guests at the showing.
Into this film the studio has
poured money and talent without
stint. The result is a magnifi-
Gently staged production that
holds the enthusiastic interest of
the spectator from beginning to
end.
This film has a story-a very
good one, too. Headlined in this
are Eleanor Powell and Robert
Taylor. Of course, Miss Powell's
magic, flying feet tap out some
clever and intricate routineS dur
ing the course of the play. But in
addition to the story there are
grand musical numbers and some
utterly nonSenSical but very funny
gags.
Sophie Tucker is introduced to
do two numbers and the grand old
trouper proves that she still has
the power to hold and sway an au-
dience.
Among other notables intro
duced in the action of this thor.
oughly delightful entertainment
are Buddy Ebsen, George Murphy,
Binnie Barnes, Charles Igor CORN.
Robert Benchley, Robert Wildhack,
Villa Howard and Raymond Wal
burn.
Little Judy Garland does swell
bit as a lovesick high school girl.
