“KING OF BURLESQUE”
New and unrivalled thrills in song, dance, laughter and drama are brought to the screen by “King of Burlesque/' the Fox picture coming to-night co the Elite Theatre, which turns the spotlight on a fascinating new world of entertainment. Featuring arner Baxter, Alice Faye, Jack Oakie and Arline Judge, at the head of an allstar cast, the picture tells an absorbing love story of the people who make the nation’s entertainment. It follows Baxter’s rise from the “flesh” shows of 14th Street to the glittering palaces of Broadway. It traces his decline under the spiteful control of his society wife, played by Mona Barrie. In the climax, the picture shows how this master of entertainment returns to his most spectacular success and to the realisation that he had loved Alice Faye all the time.
