FABULOUS FILM
 PRODUCTION I5
 AT 20TH CENTURY

Tales of Manhattan" opening at the 20th Century Theatre tonight is the fabulous production of the equally fabulous Boris Morros and IS. P. Eagle, an all-star picture that has more names than a theatre benefit. The players include Charles Boyer, Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers. Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton, Edward G. Robinson, Paul Robeson, Ethel Waters, "Ro- chester" Thomas Mitchell, Cesar Romero. Roland Young, Elsa Lam chester, Eugene Palette and some PA or more leading players thrown in to the bargain.
 The script represents the com- bined efforts of almost as many writers-Ben Hecht, Ferenc- Molnar, Donald Ogden Stewart, Samuel Hoffenstein, Ladislas Fodor, and five other topnotch writers. How Morros got all of these high-priced and hfgyn- -calibered art ists and writers under contract, be- fore the picture was even scheduled for production, will remain an ever- lasting mystery.
 1 Tales of Manhattan" is a story which blends drama, comedy, music romance and stirring action--tak- ing you from tenement to pent- house-from Park Avenue to the Bowery.
