Edward Arnold, Gladys
George Stars Is Miss
Young's First Westerner.
Loretta ,Young start in the
first "Western" role of her ca
reer In the new frontier comedy,
"The Lady. From Cheyenne,"
opening a three-day run today at
the Craterian theatre.
A distinguished supporting
cast includes Robert Preston,
Edward Arnold, Gladys Ralph,
Frank Craven, Jessie Ralph,
Stanley Fields, Samuel S. Hinds,
Willie Best and others.
Based in part on historical
incident, Lloyd's comedy takes
place on the Wyoming frontier
of 1870. Miss Young, as a naive
but determined young school
teacher, comes out from Phila
delphia, to wke her fortune and
runs afoul a gang of crooked
politicians led by Arnold and
Preston.
A conflicting romance grows
between Miss Young and Pres
ton, and meanwhile she is goad
ed by mounting anger to break
the power of the gang. How she
accomplishes this supplies the
plot for one of the season's most
novel and entertaining screen
vehicles.
"Las Vegas Nights"
with Tommy Dor sey
On Rialto Program
The nation's Number One
swing orchestra, a group of
grand entertainers, and an amus
ing, fast-moving story are com
bined to make "Las Vegas
Nights", which opens for today
and tomorrow only at the Rialto
theatre, a snappy, tune-filled
thoroughly pleasing picture.
And, according to advance re
ports from key spots that have
played the picture, "Las Vegas
Nights" is the one picture in a
million to send audiences out in
that gay, happy mood.
Featuring Tommy Dorsey and
his orchestra, one of the best ag
gregations of music-makers in
the country, and Bert Wheeler,
the comedian who is seen all too
rarely on the screen to suit his
many admirers, and a host of
other very pleasant people, "Las
Vegas Nights" sets out right
from the start to be entertain
nig. Among the many featured
stars are Constance Moore. Phil
Regan, Betty Brewer, Lillian
Cornell, Virginia Dale and Red
Donahue and his mule, "Uno".
The gay, always-bubbling town
of Los Vegas, Nevada, with its
exciting gambling tables, its
wide-open night clubs, and fron
tier life merging with modern
refinements serves as the pic
ture's locale. The story concerns
the adventures of a . vaudeville
troupe made up of Wheeler and
his dancing girls who go to Las
Vegas to collect an inheritance.
They are befriended by Phil
Regan, a rich rancher who helps
them to make a stake and a hit
at the local night spots.
Four songs which have al
ready found popularity are
heard In the new musical. They
are "Dolores", "Moments Like
This", "Mary, Mary, Quite Con
trary" and "I Gotta Ride." Six
other hits are included in the
Dorsey "swing parade."
