“THE SHANNONS OF BROADWAY” Three new song hits, the kind you hear and remember, were written especially for the all-talking picture production of “The Shannons of Broadway,” James Gleason’s rollicking, re-cord-breaking stage comedy, which opens today at the Plaza Theatre. The songs, written by the famous team of Klages and Greer, were injected into Universal’s film production of the "Shannons” .by Gleason and Emmett Flynn. the director, who added several new* features to the film version of the comedy. One of these features is the singing of one of the songs, “Get Happy,” by Gleason himself, something he has never attempted before. “Get Happy” might be termed the inspirational song of the picture, while the love song is “Someone To Love Me.” crooned by the youthful Johnny Breeden to Mary Fhilbin. the juvenile feminine lead in the picture. The third new song is “Living the Life of Riley,” played via saxophone by Gleason and Mrs. Gleason. The Plaza’s programme will also include “Hot For Paris,” the delightfully funny talkie, starring Victor McLaglen and El Brendel as two sailors.
