Show VICTORYJTHEATRE More than 1000 girls representing every type of beauty were interview-ad interview-ad before the final 100 were selected to embellish the backgrounds of Wheeler and Woolsey's "Hips, Hips, Hooray," which shows at the Victory theatre Friday and Saturday of this week. Casting Executive and Director Direc-tor Mark Sandrich interviewed the candidates for the chorus work. The majority of the girls who were finally final-ly selected are eighteen years old and under, as youth and beauty seem to be the order of the day for musical film choruses to meet the stringent demands of camera close-ups for neat perfection of face and figure. The LOO girls dance rythmically and re-vealingly re-vealingly to the tuneful hit melodies composed by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. Ruth Etting also sings "Tired of It All" and "Keep Romance Alive." Thelma Todd and Dorothy Lee are also seen in featured roles in '. he support of Bert Wheeler and Robert Ro-bert Woolsey, who portray high-pressure merchandisers of flavored lipsticks, lip-sticks, cavorting in another of their 'merry, mad musi-comedies. Janet Gaynor, Lionel Barrymore, ..Henrietta Crosman and Robert Young head the cast of Fox film's latest release, "Carolina," which shows at the Victory Sunday, Monday Mon-day and Tuesday. The outstanding performances of these stars together with the romance, the comedy and the drama of the film, stamp "Carolina" "Caro-lina" as a distinct hit. Set against a beautiful background of tobacco plantations and hanging magnolia trees, the film tells the story of a oor northern girl who goes south to aise tobacco on a small portion of land owned by a decadent but digni- ' fied southern family. The young , son of the family falls in love with the girl, notwithstanding the fact Jiat his mother objects. There follows fol-lows a series of dramatic sequences in whioh the young girl tries to win the family over to her side, but to no avail. Janet Gaynor and Lionel Bar-ryniore Bar-ryniore have the principal roles, and both stars give the best performances perfor-mances of their careers. Robert Young and Henrietta Crosman, who can always be counted on for splendid splen-did screen work, are in the cast. Other members of the cast includes Stepin Fetehit, Richard Cromwell, Mona Barrie and Russell Simpson. Wall Street, high finance, romance and mother-love all blend in "You Can't Buy Everything," which shows Wednesday and Thursday, next week, and brings May Robson to the talking talk-ing screen in one of the most amazing amaz-ing vehicles ever provided for her. Reminiscent perhaps of Hetty Green, Miss Robson portrays a woman who, jilted by a young banker in her youth, has two thoughts to become the richest woman in the world and to get revenge. She pinches pennies, sends her crippled son to a free clinic, all to save for the great day. She finally 'has her chance, through stock manipulation, to wreck the lover of her youth, only to find that her son and the daughter of the banker are in love. In an intense dramatic scene she learns that mother-love comes above the love of money, and a gripping climax solves her problem. |
