Everybody Sing"
In Return Bid.

"EVERYBODY SING" which is
back in town clinging to the
reels of the Columbia projection ma
chine. is an entertaining musical For
half of its course. the picture is a
brilliantly entertaining musical. After
that. it seems to have had all the
wind knocked out of its sails. But
until after Judy Garland has had
chance to sing very well and act
we'll enough and Fannie Brice has
been accorded the opportunity to be
very. very funny
Miss Brice is the leader of the zany
parade. but Billie Burke runs her a
close second. Others who contribute
bright flashes from time to time are
Allan Jones, Lynne Carver, Reginald
Owen and Reginald Gardner. The
story is crazy, and amusingly crazy
until that middle ground where it
becomes transformed into something
crazy in loud and not very funny
way. 1t deals with young lady who
is given the buns rush (as they term
it in the better circles) from school
for singing in swing fashion. When
she gets home, it is to discover her
playwright father broke, her mother
displaying interest in an unimportant
actor, the chef in love with her sister.
Strengthening the whole situation
out is done to the accompaniment of
much noise. Best items: Dainty,
