 AT 10TH CENTURY
'BowerY Blitzkrieg" Will Open. for Juneau
 Run Tomorrow

There is one thing to be said for practically every picture star ring the East Side Kids"-it is almost certain to be imbued with that particular flavor and individu- ality that is so much a part of those boisterous rowdies.
 For some reason there is a zest and a tang to these photoplays that stamp them in class of their own. Such a picture is Monographs "Bowery Blitzkrieg." starring the East Side Kids with Leo Gorcey, Bobby Jordan, Huntz Hall, Warren Hull and Charlotte Henry. T e film opens tomorrow at the 20th Century Theatre.
 "Bowery Blitzkrieg" has all the clements necessary for an entertain ing picture-drama, comedy, sus- pense and action. Director Wallace Fox. assisted by some tip-top per- formances from an able cast, has welded these elements into a sound. well developed product.
 The story is deftly written and believable. It is the saga of Muggs McGinnis, tough young character who rules the east side with an iron fist Muggs, played by Leo Gorcey, finally gets in one fight too many and winds up in reform school.

The Chocolate Soldier" new Metro Goldwyn Mayer musical comedy, which will open at the Capitol Theatre tomorrow. offers Nelson Eddy in a gay, romantic role, and introduces Rise Stevens, new singing star.
 Not only does the picture give Eddy's voice full range with a wide variety of songs, but it gives him a part ideally suited to him, as a young singer and husband deter mined to find out whether or not his wife loves him and him alone Their harum- -scarum domestic life reaches its climax when he mas querades as his own rival.
 For the first time on the screen, Eddy sings in two voices, his natural baritone and bass, in play ing the dual roles.
 A notable addition to this musi- cal extravaganza is the glamorous personality and brilliant voice of Rise Stevens. The first American girl to portray the fiery Delilah in Samson and Delilah' for the Metropolitan opera in 22 years, she sings one of the arias in the pie ture and proves herself a definite screen find"

People still talk of Mackay's sullen anger re- sulting from the Illustration he felt when he failed to break up the match. But he failed, and it has remained like so many of Berlins songs, a true romance, the inspir- ation, doubtless of more than one of Berlin's lovelier songs.
