If you like to laugh don’t miss
the great show at Warner Broth
ers’ State theater starting to-day.
It's packed with laughs and will
prove to be the kind of entertain
ment you like best.
Heading the program is Joe <E.
Brown, old funnel-mouth himself,
in the new comedy-musical hit
’’Bright Lights.”

comedy of "back stage” with songs
coming in naturally/as part of the
action of a theatrical troupe.
Scores of beautiful chorus girls
appear in tuneful and fascinating
dance and song numbers staged by
Busby Berkeley, who directs the
entire production.
The picture is said to be the best
in which Joe E. Brown has ap
peared. His antics are reported to
bring uproarious laughter, pathos,
romance, and high drama. Joe
himself sings, dances and does ac
robatic .stunts with the famous
tumblers, the Maxellos.
The scenes include the Old
Grand theater, Los Angeles, which
was one of the finest in the coun
try 60 years ago.
There are four songs, one sung
by Ann Dvorak, one by Patricia
Ellis, one by Esther Burke and

and Allie Wrubel. The fourth
song is sung' by Joe E. Brown,

Gargain, Joseph Cawthorn, Henry
O’Neill and others.
The added feature is "Little Big
Shot” with Sybil Jason, Glenda

old child sensation who is the talk
of all Hollywood, and who places
Shirley Temple’s universal popu
larity in Jeopardy. She will bear
watching. "Little Big Shot” is ex
cellent screen fare and deserves
this spot on the State's holiday
week program.

customed. Once she gives a little
laugh at the lone conductor, with
out an orchestra.
The cameras will take in only
his head and arms. And the song
already has been recorded. So
the musicians aren’t necessary.
They’ll All the pit when they’re

Elaborately dressed extras Bill

Finally the comeras are ready
—two of them on high parallels
half-way back in the “theater"
and a third hidden in the wings.
“Are you ready, Miss Pons?”
asks Director John Cromwell. She
nods assent. “All right, we'll
shoot it.” Scores of big arc lights
are snapped on. “Start the play
back.”
The previously recorded song
with its orchestration comes
through a large amplifier and the
conductor starts waving his arms
—a truly funny sight. As the sing
er hears her own voice, she starts
singing the same song in perfect
synchronization, although some
what softer than would be neces
sary if it were being recorded.
Her voice is beautiful. The ex
tras don't have to be told to ap
plaud when the song is ended.
They do it spontaneously. And
Miss Pons’ bows from the stage
show genuine gratitude. This is a
new medium for her and she really
appreciates encouragement.
Later in her dressing room she
fairly bubbles over with amaze
ment at the wonders of movie
land. “Imagine, when thees scene

exclaims in delightful broken Eng
lish. “And all zee time I am right

Now current at Poll’s is a superb
screen attraction and in addition a
delightful musical treat for the pa
trons of this popular theater.
On the screen current until Tues
day night Is Greta Garbo in the
greatest film that she has ever ap
peared in "Ann Karenina" and as
sisting this popular star are such
other favorites as Fredric March
and little Freddie Bartholomew.
Garbo never appeared to better
advantage than she does in this
film and playing opposite Fredric
March she seems inspired and a
marvelous performance results.
Miss "Ann Karenina” and you miss
one of the delightful treats of the
season.
A carefully selected program of
shorts also help to make this an
outstanding film treat. There is
Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly who
are seen in a staire called ‘‘The
Tin Man” and Popeye, with his
troubles and other selected shorts
make up a marvelous program as
far as the screen is concerned.
Jimmy Colgan, the Master Of
the Keyboard and Console, work
ing with the tones of the mighty
Poll organ, offers a delightful treat
in an organlogue and there is
doubt if there has ever been a pro
gram on the organ that as much
music was gotten out of as Jimmy
does with this specialty. Then for
an added treat little demure Edith
Sacco, the ‘‘Mistress of Syncopa
tion” shows the reason why she is
the favorite female vocalist of this
territory. She obliges with several
musical selections that are knock
outs.
Wednesday brings another great
show to Poli’s on the screen, the

SHIRLEY TEMPLE
IN STRAND FILM
“Curly Top” Opening To
morrow Shows Young
ster in New Role
The happiest picture of Shirley
Temple’s career, “Curly Top,” will
be the feature attraction at War
ners’ Strand theater starting to
morrow.
In “Curly Top,” a charming
story of a little girl who captures
the heart of a lonely bachelor and
makes both their dreams come
true, Shirley has two new songs
to sing and several new and intri
cate dance routines for audience
approval.
In this comedy-drama, John
Boles is cast as a bachelor who
adopts Shirley and her big sister,
Rochelle Hudson. His generosity
takes them from the drab and
dreary atmosphere of an orphan
age to the sunny summer sur
roundings of a palatial home in
Southampton. There the romance
of Boles and Rochelle Hudson
flourishes under the childish guid
ance of little Shirley who sings,
dances and laughs her way into
their hearts.
Shirley is really happy in this
picture, for she has the oppor
tunity of displaying her full talent
when she sings "Animal Cracker
in My Soup” and “When I Grow
Up.”
Shirley is not the only one to
sing in this joyful film. John Boles
