SAUCY ROMANCE

COMEDY AT PLAZA I "JOSETTE" TO-MORROW The sauciest escapade in the history of love, as gay as a Mardi Gras, with three delightful stars and merry with Gordon and j Revel tunes, brings Don Ameche, i Simone Simon and Robert Young i to the Plaza Theatre in 20th. | Century - Fox's comedy hit, I “Josette.'’ It's “vive I’amour” in naughty | New Orleans as Don and Bob chase I Simone, who must think faster than one and run faster than the other—but not too much faster! The tantalising little coquette has talked herself into a pretty mix-up, so that there are two Josettes, one for the boys’ Papa and another for the boys themselves. To prevent Papa’s proposed remarriage with a scheming beauty, Don and Bob pack him off to New York, so naturally he takes his Josette with him. Josette No. 2 remains in the gay city of the South for the merriest courtship in the annals of romance. Bert Lahr heads the featured cast with Joan Davis, who was recently acclaimed No. 1 -comedienne by a New York newspaper’s na-tion-wide poll. Paul Hurst, William Collier, sen., and Tala Birell have prominent roles in the film. “May I Drop a Petal in Your Glass of Wine?” “In Any Language,” and “Where in The World” are the rhythmic, tuneful new song hits by the famed team of Gordon and Revel featured in “Josette.” Darryl F. Zanuck, 20th. Cen-tury-Fox hit-maker, selected Allan Dwan to direct the film, dedicated to “Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Josette.” Allan Dwan distinguished himself during the recent months with the direction of Shirley Temple’s two recent pictures, "Heidi,” and the new “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.” It was his work in these pictures which won him the new major assignment.
