PLAZA THEATRE

“EVERYBODY DANCE” Cicely Courtneidge returns to the screen at the Plaza Theatre to-mor-row in gerat form. Her latest comedy is from Gaumont-British, “Everybody Dance,” and is full of scintillating wit, hilarious sequences, and bright, tuneful melody. As “Lady Kate,” a night club queen. Cicely finds herself saddled with two American children who are unaware of her notoriety in London circles. She poses as a Jadyfarmer of impeccable morals, and is made happier by the presence of “Wilbur,” Ernest Truex, who has been sent to take the children back home. Action is fast and furious until the climax when Lady Kate is ordered by an officious local J.P. to give up the children and return whence she came. But an unexpected twist of fortune reverses the tables, and Kate and Wilbur find happiness after all. Fleeing from marriage when she discovers that her intended husband has demanded half a million dollars compensation for the honour of sharing his dubious title. Claire Trevor and Michael Whalen make their third screen appearance together in “Time Out for Romance,” comedy-romance of the automobile caravans, opening to-day at the Plaza Theatre. The Twentieth Century-Fox hit also features John Davis, Douglas Fowley and Bennie Bartlett. Whalen was selected for the role opposite Miss Trevor after associate producer Milton H. Feld viewed his work in “Career Woman” and in “Woman-Wise.” William Demarest, who achieved comedy honours in “Charlie Chan at the Opera.” also appears in the film. Malcolm St. Clair directed.
