REGENT THEATRE
“STAGE STRUCK.” "Stage Struck," heralded by First National as the gayest and snappiest of all its long list of musical comedy hits, comes to the Regent Theatre today. There is an all-star cast, which includes Dick Powell, Joan Biondell, Warren William, Frank McHugh, Jeanne Madden, and the four Yacht Club Boys, besides a large number of supporting principals and hundreds of extras. The picture is filmed .on a lavish scale with spectacular numbers. Busby Berkley directed the production. In addition to three spectacular chorus numbers, there is still another in which Powell sings “Fancy Meeting You” to his lady love, Miss Madden, in the New York Aquarium. Powell in the leading role has the part of a dance director who is driven to distraction by his star, whom he cannot discharge because her money backs the show. Joan Biondell plays the role of the actress, who has gained notoriety and riches through many marriages and the shooting of her latest mate. Miss Madden plays the part of a newcomer to Broadway, who is trying to crash into the show business, but is discouraged by Powell because he loves her and doesn’t want her in that kind of life. __________
