Plaza Theatre.

SONG AND COMEDY. Sprightly song hits abound in the mirthful action of "Anything Goes," the Paramount new contribution to the gaiety of the screen, which will start its engagement to-day at the Plaza Theatre. This screen version of the original Broadway hits boasts; the popular songs by Cole Porter that I made this play the most sought after musical of the year. Ethel Merman sings "Anything Goes" and "I Get a Kick Out of You." With Bing Crosby she sings "You're the Top," with parodies on that song furore of ali time that made America top-consci-ous. Others in the cast are Charlie Ruggles, Ida Lupino and Grace Bradley. Bing Crosby finds himself rboavd an ocean going liner, with the borrowed passport of a public enemy in his pocket. He must elude the .ship's officers while searching for a beautiful siranger whom he believes to be in distress. A, would-be bad man, played by Charlie Ruggles, asrists bini in his various disguises in oider to keep out of the clutches of Ihe law, and within speaking distance of his charmer, both of which endeavours accupy all his tims. The direction is by Lewis Milestone.
