Harlem's American Negro theatre

More than forty top ranking stars in one picture is something of a record, even for fabulous Hollywood, but that is the score Paramount runs up with It's show of shows, "Star Spangled Rhy- thm," which is due to entertain Kodiak today and Sunday at the Orpheum theatre.
 Definitely the field day of field days for movie fans, Star Span- gled Rhythm" boasts among it's players Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Fed MacMurray, Franchot Tone, Ray Midland, Victor Moore, Dorothy Lamour, Paul. cite Goddard, Vera Zorina. Dick Powell, Mary Martin, Betty Hutton, Eddie Bracken, Veroni- ca Lake, Alan Ladd and Roches- ter, with William Bendix, Jerry Colonna, Macdonald Carey, Wal ter Abel, Susan Hayward, Mar jorie Reynolds, Betty Rhodes, Dona Drake, Lynne Overman, Gary Crosby, Johnnie Johnston, Gil Lamb, Cass Daley, Ernest Truex, Katherine Dunham, Ar thur Preacher, Walter Catlett, Sterling Holloway, the Golden Gate Quartette, Walter Dare Wahl and Compay. And if that weren't enough to amaze and delight moviegoers, they will al so be able to see three top Para mount directors tuned actors for the occasion-Cecil B. DeMllle, Preston Sturges, Ralph Murphy!
 With lineup of talent such as that listed above, it is easy to believe reports that Star Span gled Rhythm" is the greatest, truly all-star musical comedy ever produced by any movie studio.
 The story of "Star SpangIed Rhythm" concerns the efforts of Paramount studio gateman, Victor Moore, and telephone op- orator Betty Hutton, to build themselves up to Moore's sailor son, Eddie Bracken, by deceiving him into believing that the old man is head of the studio, and Betty his secretary.
 Betty conceives a crack-brain, ed idea of how to continue the deception for the duration of the boys leave, as we'll as to put on a show for them with Para mounts roster of stars participa- ting. Betty's idea backfres hilar- iously in Moores face, although the show does go on, stupendous- ly.
