NEW STAR FEATURED

TUTTA ROLF FOR GRAND 1 Dressed to Thrill,’ a bright and tuneful picture of lovers in Paris, filled with ingenious twists and romantic thrills, launches Tutta Rolf, Fox Films’ glamorous new European .star, on her American film career. Miss Rolf is coupled with Clive Brook in the romantic lead of the picture, which comes to the Grand to-morrow. In a screen play bristling with the brilliant dialogue and mirthful situations devised by Samson Raphaelson, Miss Rolf plays the role of a jilted woman who had revenge at her fingertips but gave it up because love proved too strong. The story of ‘ Dressed to Thrill ’ stems from the days of the war. Clive Brook, a handsome former officer in the Canadian Army, has left behind him in the provinces of France ft loving dressmaker whom he had promised to marry. Years later she turns up in Paris, a tantalising beauty, totally unlike her former self, and proceeds to draw Brook, who does not recognise her, into the web of her charms. Under the spell of her beauty Brook squanders his fortune, loses his business, and even his old friends. Then when Miss Rolf feels that she has tortured him sufficiently, she reveals her true identity to Brook in a climax that brings the story to a happy conclusion. Two new hit tunes by Lew Pollack and Paul Webster were especially written for Miss Rolf to sing in ‘ Dressed to Thrill.’ The second film, which is entitled ‘ Strangers All,’ features May Robson and Preston Foster.
