STRAND THEATRE
REVELRY AND ROMANCE Rhythm, romance, and revelry are happily combined in Universal’s new picture, “ Follow the Band," which has pride of place in the Strand Theatre’s new programme. The picture boasts 14 “headline” players, including Leo Carrillo, Leon Errol, Mary Beth Hughes, .Eddie Quillan, and Anne Rooney. The plot, which is highly diverting, 'deals humorously with the plight of an amateur trombone virtuoso from the country who, through a fluke, plunges headlong into fame and fortune on Broadway. Frances Langford, Alvino Rey and the King Sisters and Ray Eberle appear prominently in gay musical sequences. Other wellknown performers include The Bombardiers, Hilo Hattie, The King’s Men and Skinnay Ennis and the Groove Boys. The supporting picture. The Monster and the Girl,” can be described as a real thriller, with a strong cast, including Ellen Drew, Robert Paige, Paul .Lukas, Joseph Calleia. Onslow Stevens, George Zucco, Rod Cameron, Phillip Terry, Marc Lawrence, and Gerald Mohr.
