REX THEATRE
Entertaining Programme,
"We're Going To Be Rich," a surprising, different, and thoroughly enjoyable 20th Century-Fox production, opens tomorrow at the Rex Theatre. With Victor McLaglen in his finest role as a somewhat irresponsible devotee of the "get-rich-quick" idea of getting on in the world, and with Gracie Fields as his devoted showgirl wife, "We're Going T.o Be Rich" presents a broad, lusty story of life in Australia and South Africa. These two stars, Victor and Miss Fields, are set in two points of a triangle which is completed by Brian Donlevy in the principal featured role. Add to this the capable work of a child actor, Ted Smith, and some new faces in the supporting roles, and life during the "eighties" in the Boer country is vividly paraded before the audience to the accompaniment of six song hits and a stirring "Trek" song of the Veldt territory. The popular musical comedy, "Roberta," starring Irene Dunne, Fred Astaire, and Ginger Rogers, will be the associate film. There will also be an entertaining supporting programme, including another chapter of the serial, "The Green Hornet."
