PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
"On Your Toes."
"On Your Toes," the Warner Bros, dance-comedy, which opens on Friday at the Paramount Theatre, marks the highly auspicious return to the screen of the lovely and graceful Zorina and of the charmingly humorous Eddie Albert. Each is well known on the stage, each appeared in one picture and left movie-goers asking for more, and now they have both answered the demand in a picture that reveals much more of their talents than was shown in their first films. The new Warner picture is an adaptation of the highly successful musical comedy of the same name which was written by Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, and George Abbott, and the screen version called upon the talents of four able scenarists, Jerry Wald, Richard Macaulay, Sig. Herzig, and Lawrence Riley. It still tells essentially the same story of the bewildered American youth, who, through a comic series of accidents, finds himself the male star of a mad Russian ballet troupe which—also bewildered by what is happening—finds itself trying to present a "jazz ballet."
