Show 'Wonder Bar" j! Opens at Cameo Sunday Sunday night will be the grand 1 , opening of the First National mam- 1 moth musical and dramatic specta-j specta-j cle, "Wonder Bar," to be shown in j this city at the Cameo Theatre. The picture is based on the inter- nationally famous play that was the 'sensation of Europe a few years ago j when it played before king and com- moner in Continental capitals. Again it was -a sensation on the American : stage with Al Jolson in the stellar ; role. Al Jolson in the film version, plays the same role as an entertainer de luxe. Other members of the stellar array include Kay Francis, Dolores Del Rio, Ricardo Cortez, Dick Powell : and Hal LeRoy. i The supporting cast is quite as imposing including such notable players of stage and screen as Guy Kibbee, Ruth Donnelly, Hugh Herbert, Her-bert, Louise Fazenda, Fifl d'Orsay, firma Kennedy, Henry O'Neill, Rob-en Rob-en Barrat and Henry Kolker. In -addition there are three hundred hun-dred beautiful chorus girls picked from 9,000 applicants who dance and j sing clad in diaphanous gowns for 5 the gigantic spectacles created and j staged by Busby Berkeley, the wizard wiz-ard of musical ensembles. Berkeley, who also staged the numbers for "42nd Street," "Footlight Parade," and Gold Diggers of 1933," is said to I have surpassed even the gigantic spectacles in these pictures by the uniqueness, beauty and magnificence of his new conceptions. These spectacles spice the dramatic dra-matic production which has been staged on a grand scale, the locale being a night club of gay Paris, the story centering about the entertainers, entertain-ers, their romances with each other and with patrons. The limitations of the stage have been overcome on the screen which 1 permits of a production of for greater great-er magnitude. Showing at the Cameo Theatre j Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, April : 22, 23 and 24. i I I n . |
