Tuneful Cast
Gayer than ever, wittier and
brighter and more colorful, Re-
" public's 1941 version of its "Hit
Parade" presents Kenny Baker,
Trances Langford, Hugh Herbert.
Mary Boland. Ann Miller and
Patsy Kelly in a rolieking fea
ture now at the Capitol theatre.
Miss Langford, who starred in
The Hit Parade" for Republic
two years ago,, repeats her sen
sational . hit performance in "Hit
,starad of 1941,' with Kenny
""TJaker providing romantic inspira
tion. ;
Hugh Herbert, that inimitable
'artist of the 'woo-woo,' exceeds
himself In his present role of the
pixilated antique shop proprietor
who listens dreamily to- the radio
while determined would be custo
mers .tear their hair out in their
anxiety to buy the various white
elephants which flutter up his
shop.
Ann Miller, a veritable sorce
ress of rhythm, is bewitching In
her role of the girl who wants
to dance but has to sing because
her Mama Mary! Boland at her
daffiest says she has to.
".. Sterling Hollo way, the toweled
haired alow voiced comedian
, whose "type of humor has been
thus far inimitable on stage or
screen, ont-does himself in the
role of the kind-hearted but dull-
witted soda jerker who dispenses
down-to-earth philosophy along
with his sundaes and double
chocolate malted milks.
Remember the patriotic feature,
"Land of Liberty." that Cecil B.
De Mille put together for the two
world fafrs? It has been stream
lined and will be released by M-G-M,
with proceeds going to char
ity. One important change has been
made. Raymond Masey's recita
tion of "The Gettysburg Address"
has replaced the famous one that
Charles Laughton made in "Hag
gles of Red Gap."
Claire James is replacing Pat
Dane in the "Minnie From Trini
dad" number of "Ziegfleld Girl."
There was some kind of argument.
AtElsiiiore
"Thief of Bagdad" Said
. Exciting, and Most
"Colorful" !
One of the most colorful j and
exciting -pictures ever to be made
la now showing at the Elslnore
theatre, where Alexander Korda Is
presenting his new all-Technicolor
production, "The Thief of i Bag
dad." With Sabu. John Jastln. Jane
Daprex and Conrad Veidt in the
leading roles, tt tells a story right
out of the Arabian Nights: . the
story of the young Prince of Bag
dad who. with his friend and com
panion, the little thief of Bagdad.
seeks the hand of the Princess of
Basra while opposed by his evil
Grand Vizier, the Magician Jaftar,
who desires the princess and the
throne for himself.
"The Thief of Bagdad" la ad
venturous, romantic spectacle at
its best. The screen is literally
dominated by the Immense crowd
scenes in Technicolor and the
magic and "miracles" in the pic
ture leave one in breathless
amazement. The Flying Horse, the
magic carpet, the dancing dolls,
the all-seeing eye and a Djlnnl
who changes at will from a titan
200 feet high into a tiny being
who can fit into a bottle, are but.
a few of the memorable feats ac
complished in this picture.
Needless to say, "The Thief of
Bagdad" utilized new and revolu
tionary aa well as secret techni
cal methods in achieving the
spectacular sequences that, far
from ever having been equaled,
have never even been attempted
before. In short, it brings the
exciting, mystic essence of ancient
Persia to the screen in all its
glory.

No other actor in Hollywood
can match thin record of Montagu
Love's. In 1915, at the Fort Lee
studio of the World Films, he
splayed in the picture, "Rasputin."
Leon Trotsky was an extra in the

Twenty three years ago in

Incidentally, Montagu's latest

The seeae was in "The Out- :

rooster to walk before the ram- I

search, the studio found a rock
erel that would crow loudly on
command, but wouldn't run
Then tt found another that
would run, but wouldn't crow
. . . 8o they used him for the
double ...
Finally the double got so dog
