PLAZA THEATRE

“MARRY THE GIRL.” “Marry the Girl,” showing fully to- • day and to-night at the Plaza Theatre, i is one of the most joyous entertain- ! ments of its kind to emanate from a i British studio. A brilliant array of . comedy stars lend added distinction to l ’ this delightful comedy. Sonnie Hale f is seen as the hero, with Winifred 3 Shotter as his former love; Judy Kelly s as his liancee, and Hugh Wakefield as r a philandering barrister. Ann SothJ ern, beautiful blonde star, is seen in 1 “The Girl Friend,” with Jack Haley s and Roger Pryor as her leading man, on the same programme. o t “Swing Time.” r That popular pair, Ginger Rogers s and Fred Astaire, provide delightful n entertainment at the midnight matinee to-night at the Plaza Theatre , in their sixth shared success, the e R.K.0.-Radio film “Swing Time.” Both s stars pursue the course of true love through the obstacles offered by a pair y of rivals. Astaire is a cheerful n gambler, nicknamed “Lucky” Garnett, e frying to earn 20,000 dollars in order 5, to marry his childhood sweetheart, d but before he has been very long in y New York how not. to earn 20,000 riold lars is his big problem, for he meets r Penny Carroll (Ginger Rogers), a b dancing academy instructress, and bec comes her pupil. A glowering orchestra leader who intends to marry c Penny himself brings complications ( which come thick and fast, especially \ when Astaire arrives to find out what he is doing. All this is interwoven T with the most delightful humour and p the catchiest song and dance numbers e (imaginable. A new comedy team in ;s Victor Moore and Helen Broderick are It responsible for much of the enter!aine ment.
