PLAZA THEATRE

"Cafe Metropoli?."

: The screen's most exciting sweethearts—lovely Loretta Young and the romantically handsome Tyrone Power —play love's most exciting game while Adolphe Menjou throws away the rule book in "Cafe Metropole,": which commences at the Plaza Theatre tomorrow. "Cafe. Metropole" winds its amusing way against the background of gay Paree and the Continent's most luxurious rendezvous, with Gregory Ratoff, Charles'Winninger, and Helen Westley joining the three stars in the excitement. The 'lively course of the film begins in the restaurant of that name, where Adolphe Menjou, suaveand sophisticated, presides deftly over affairs and wonders how. he <.can restore a borrowed 480,000 francs before the auditors arrive. One solution, baccarat, is removed when the young man from whom he wins the necessary sum, Tyrone Power, confesses that he really hasn't any money at all. Menjou, who is expecting the arrival from America of a rich patron, Charles Winninger, his sister, Helen Westley, and his daughter, Loretta Young, forces the handsome youth, under threat of exposure to the police,'to masquerade as a Russian prince, in the hope of winning Loretta's hand and her father's marriage settlement. The lovely Loretta, however, sees through her prince from Princeton, but it's Paris, and it's spring, and she decides that it will be more fun to be swept off her feet anyway. Events thereupon take one amusing and unexpected turn after another, mounting in hilarious procession to a surprise finale which provides a novel solution to the problems of Loretta, Tyrone, and Adolphe.
