• •HOLD EVERYTH ING” Winnie Lightner, the dynamic comedienne and star of “Hold Every-j thing,” whose voice and humorous an- | , tics have endeared her to the theatre- ! 1 going public, states emphatically and with her customary verve that she thinks Joe Burke and Al Dubin arc the only song writers for her. They wrote ; the musical score of the screen hit, “Gold Diggers of Broadway,” in which Winnie Lightner also sang several songs. They have so accurately learned the essence of Winnie Lightner’s delightful personality chat the songs they write for her seem to be a part of her. More than fifty songs were submitted to Miss Lightner before she found the two that she felt were the style of songs her audience expects of her. sings these in “Hold Everything,” the ' musical comedy success of the stage : which has been adapted to the. screen and will play at the Regent Theatre To- j I day. It was Joo Burke and Al Dubin who wrote the songs whivh Miss Lightner chose. They are “Isn’t. This a Cock-eyed World” and “Physically Fit.” Winnie Lightner says that these two songs are the most tuneful humorous songs it has been her pleasure to sing since her advent to the screen. The same composers wrote those famous • songs, “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” | and “Painting the Clouds with Sun- i shine,” two numbers that wore among j the outstanding hits of 1929.
