KISS TIE BOYS GOODBYE" NOW
 AT 1OTK CENTURY

The local screen IS due to take a definite upswing toward the top in comedy and musical entertainment, with the advent tonight at the 20th Century Theatre of Kiss the Boys Goodbye, Paramount's musical yer sion of the gay, packed comedy which had sophisticated Broadway audiences slightly slap-happy from laughing for several seasons.
 Considering that the picture stars Don Ameche and Mary Martin, and features in its important cast Oscar Leyant, Virginia Dale, Connie Bos- well and Rochester directed by the ace director of musicals, Victor Schertzinger, the prospects for first rate, snappy entertainment are hright again.
 The story concerns a beautiful chlorine from the South with plen- ty of talent, who can't get a break on Broadway until she learns that a handsome, Broadway stags director is going to comb the Southland for an ideal Southern beauty to play the lead in his show. Of course, she goes back down South and permits the director to discover" her during his search,
