“FORTY-SECOND STREET”

OPERA HOUSE ATTRACTION. SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION. A remarkable continuity of drama, humour and spectacle will be seen in “Forty-second Street,” which opens at the Opera House to-night. The film is built around a stage production-the making of a show—and everyone m the show business to the number of. hundreds is in it—l 4 stars, directors, singers, song writers, tap dancers, crooners, comics, heavies, juveniles and all the

others. There is a great array of stars in the leading parts-Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, George Brent, Una Merkel, Ruby Keeler (Mrs. Al Jolson), Guy Kibbee, Ned Sparks, Dick Powell, Ginger Rogers, and a dozen others equally wellknown. One of the hits of the show will be the song and dance melody “Shuffle Off to Buffalo.”
