Penner and Parkyakarkas j
. Have Leads in "New
Faces of 1937"
Sparkling with an originality
and freshness of treatment that
makes ft one of the most enter
taining musical films of recent
years. RKO Radio's "New Faces
of 1H 7" opens today at the El
slnnr theatre. " '
Radio celebrities and vaudeville
and stage favorites throng the
distinguished cast and offer an
amaiing variety of talent to the
m
aded palates 01 ium-goers. inree
nt the f onr stars. Joe Penner,
Harriet Hilliard and Parkyakar-
kas, -have already made their
bows to motion picture audiences;
the fourth. Mil ton Berle, makes
his speaking screen debut in the
film, along witn scores 01 me sup
porting players.
Five glittering production num
bers and eight catchy songs are
deftly blended into the picture,
tmrnther with a wealth of com
edy and an unusually interesting
plot. The story hinges on the act
ivities of an unscrupulous show
producer, who makes a handsome
living by deliberately putting on
worthless plays. This seeming
paradox is explained by the gen
tleman's financial maneuvers,
which consist of selling the show
to various "angels." and pocketing
the difference between the actual
cost of the production and the
Tims he has received.
When his girl friend finally ex
poses him, one of his backers takes
charge and produces a show which
is a guttering success.
Several romances are woven
into the story, the principal one
being between Miss Hilliard and
Bill Brady, a remaraaoie new
comer with a fine tenor voice, who
respectively portray a cnorus gin
and a playwright. Joe Penner
has a love affair with Lorraine
Krueger, and Jerome Cowan, the
crooked promoter, another with
Thelma Leeds, the leading lady of
one of his "flop" shows, while
Berle plays the part of the "angel
who takes over the show and is
Brady's rival for Miss HiUiard's
affections.
