At Southbridge
"SECOND FIDDLE" ON
SATURDAY
Irving Berlin's new songs, Sonja Henie's sunny brilliance, Tyrone Power's gay romancing, Rudy Vallee's singing and Edna May Oliver's fun—one of the greatest combinations of talent ever gathered for one show, is making Irving Berlin's "Second Fiddle" an outstanding film offering which is being received with a chorus of praise wherever shown. Something new in screen entertainment, this film will be shown at Southbridge Talkies on Saturday and it's filled with romance, dazzling spectacle, fresh comedy, six new Berlin songs and surprises galore, including sensational tangos on ice, snow rhumbas, ice ballets, and the new ballroom dance craze, the "Back to Back."
It ds a highly realistic story of filmdom's long search for a girl to play the heroine of a best-selling novel and what happens when she is found. This is right in line with the new trend of combining music and story of real dramatic worth into perfectly blended entertainment.
"Second Fiddle" introduces, also, new-star Mary Healy, lovely young actress from whom great work is expected, and her performance is hailed as fulfilling every expectation.
For the first itime on tn*e screen Sonja Henie has a skating partner on the ice, young Stewart Reburn. The handsome Canadian athlete appeared with the ice star during her triumphant personal-appearance tour of U.S.A. recently.
