BING CROSBY FILM WITH * CEILING ZERO ' AT MAYFAIR v ,. * Anything Goes,’ which will'be comitnencM at the Mayfair to-day, is a bright'and entertaining film in every way. Bing Crosby is the featured player in this song-starred presentation of the popular Broadway musical comedy which broke records during its New York run. He is assisted by such favourites as Ethel Merman, Charlie Buggies, Ida Lupino, and Grace Bradlev. All the famous Cole Porter songs which were _ universally popular are heard in this mirthful picture. He Las provided a number of others which are equally as good as ‘You’re the Top,’ • ‘Anything Goes,’ and ‘I Get a Kick Out of You.’ Additional songs by other music makers are included. Outstanding in the lyric line are the parodies on ‘ You’re the Top ’ which Crosby and Miss Merriman sing. These took the audience by storm with their .unexpected lines, and proved the high spot in the entertainment. Nearly everything under the sun is introduced in these parodies, from Ethiopia to stratospheric flights. Claimed to be one of the most thrilling and glamorous air romances yet screened, ‘ Ceiling Zero,’ the associate picture, has had excellent runs wherever it has been screened. The film co-stars James Cagney and, Pat O’Brien, and introduces a charming leading lady in June Travis. There is every sort of thrill in ' this picture - as well as plenty of Jaughs and romance.
