Show 'Broadway Serenade' Starring Jeanette MaeDonald To Open at Gaiety Saturday Jeanette MaeDonald, who started out her career as a dancer, returned re-turned to dancing for her role in "Broadway Serenade", coming to the Gaiety Theatre for an engagement en-gagement of four days. Strangely enough, Miss Mac-Donald Mac-Donald went through her first years of pictures with never an opportunity to display her ter-psichorean ter-psichorean ability. It was not until "The Firefly" that she danced before the cameras. "Broadway Serenade" marks her second dancing role since that time. In "Sweethearts" she appeared ap-peared in an eccentric Dutch number with Ray Bolger. In the current musical the star is seen as a musical comedy favorite of the present day, and does an intricate in-tricate solo number. Miss MacDonald's dancing, however, how-ever, does not interfere with her famed vocal talents, the new picture pic-ture offering a wide variety of songs, among them "For Every Lonely Heart", "High Flyfn'," "Rhapsody", "One Look at You", "Time Changes Everything", "No Time to Argue", "Ridin' on a Rainbow" and a medley of old-fashioned old-fashioned songs, sung by Miss MaeDonald and a chorus with Lew Ayres at the piano. Ayres is seen as Miss Mac-Donald's Mac-Donald's composer-husband in the story, which is laid against the background of the theatre. Frank Morgan plays a theatrical producer, pro-ducer, and other important roles are. filled by Ian Hunter, Al Shean. Virginia Grey, Rita Johnson, John-son, William Gargan and Franklin Frank-lin Pangborn. The picture was produced by Robert Z. Leonard, director of such outstanding musical musi-cal hits as "Maytime", "The Firefly" Fire-fly" and "The Great Ziegfield". |
