"START CHEERING"

"Start Chering” is grand entertainment. There’s Jimmy Durante and ' Walter Connolly. Joan Perry and Charles Starrett and Gertrude Niesen and Raymond Walburn and The Three Stooges and Broderick Crawford and Hal Leßoy and Ernest Truex and Virginia Dale and Chaz. Chase and Louis Prima and his band and—not last and not least —Johnny Green and his orchestra. The story concerns a movie hero who suddenly grows tired of it all and goes back tt», college.
