formula of many another biography
Of old-timer stars, but this time it
looks as If even the extras decided
to be bored with it. Whatever plot
it has looks like something directed
against any more pictures of its
kind.
1t could not be, of course. that
those cavorting through the Techni-
color at the Palace suddenly took it
into their heads to do a satire on
the pictures heroines. In the first
place, it is reasonably sound as
sumption that they do not have that
kind of heads. Innocently, however,
that is why they have accomplished,
with the result that the moments
which should have been the most
dramatic, the ones that should
break your heart, leave you thinking
you had better get out of there be-
fore you laugh in their pretty faces.
Scattered among the tunes of
"The Dolly Sisters" a kind of yes
terday's hit parade, is a narrative
that looks all the more threadbare
for having been garnished SO Law
ishly. AS a producer for the first
time, George Jessel apparently has
been content to outbuild his former
idol, Ziegfeld, assuming that beyond
the construction job the songs would
show what life was like back in the
halcyon days on Broadway when he
was kid. Mr.. Jessel's assumption
sadly enough, was wrong. Not COM
pletely, however, for there are some
diverting moments when the thing
pauses to let today's moviegoers in
on such sentimental ditties as I'm
Always Chasing Rainbows,' by
Harry Fox out of Chopin; Give Me
the Moonlight. Give Me the Girl
what long titles you had, grand
pay, etc.
The romantic emphasis of 1.-THE
Dolly Sisters" is laid upon the love
| affair between Jenny Dolly anc
Composer-vocalist Fox. Tristram
and Isolde, Pelleas and Melisande
and the other classic lovers woulc
die laughing at such a pallid affair
but the producers of the Palace film
seem to have taken it seriously
Jenny, the sister played by Miss
Cradle, seems to have found Fox
(John Payne) the classic torment OF
her life, instead of the mere nui-
sance he appears to be in the pic
ture. She falls in love with him one
day en- route to Elmira and from
there on, Broadway, Paris, London
Vienna, Monte Carlo and all the
other gay and triumphant nlaces
