FIRST LEAD ROLE
SETS RADIO FAVOURITE AS CINEMA STAR. Kate Smith, queen of America’s radioland, makes her debut as a movie star in “ Hello, Everybody! ” a Paramount picture. It is as a full-fledged, actress, rather than as a radio star on parade, that Miss Smith makes her screen debut. She is the. central figure in a touching drama of a woman’s fight for justice. However, the voice that won so much fame on the air, is heard to full advantage in the film. Besides old favourites, she sings four new songs —“ Moon Song,” “ Pickaninnies’ Heaven,” “Out in the Great Open Spaces,” and “ Twenty Million People.” They were written especially for her. Miss Smith is supported in the pictures by a cast headed by Randolph Scott and Salty Blane. She appears in the role of a farm girl, who leads her fellow-farmers in a battle against a power company which is attempting to condemn their property for a wat-er-power development. In her struggle for funds to fight the case through the courts, she accepts a radio contract, and is soon an outstanding ether star.
