James Dunn, Lillian Roth, Cliff
Edwarda, June Knight, Charlea
"Buddy" Rogers, Lilian Bond, Dor
othy Lee and Lona Andre constitute
the extraordinary brilliant cast of
"Take a Chance," which opens at
the Roxy theatre today.
It must not be characterized as
back-stage romance. It runs the
gamut from a carnival aide-show,
through a awanky New, York gamb
ling club, out to the homes of Long
Ialand'a millionaire aoclety folk and
back to Broadway.
Dunn and Edwarda are cast as
side-show spellers who are not averse
to making away with their patrons'
pocketbooks and watches, when the
occasion offers.
