Famous Screen Stars
Head Large Cast in
"Footlight Parade”
Twelve of Holloywood’s 'brilliant
stars head the tremendous cast of
noted players who appear in the
Warner Bros, mammoth spectacle,
“Footlight Parade,” which comes to
the Princess Theatre next Monday
and Tuesday, January 29-30.
The two principals are James Cag
ney and Joan lilondell who played
together on the stage and rose to
stardom side by side on the serpen,
playing together in “Sinner’s Holi
dac,” “Blonde Crazy” and “The
Crowd Roars.” And now they are
united again in “Footlight Parade”
au one of the greatest teams of wise
cracking, fast action players that
ever appeared together on the screen.
This new and mammoth spectacle
is said to far surpass its predeces-
sors in the originality aiid beauty of
its ensembles, in its hilarious comedy
drama plot, its songs and its roman
tic love interest. The screen play by
Manuel Seff and James Seymour is
a story of back stage life, but entire
ly different from anything before
screened. It deals with a young
musical comedy director who loses
his'job when talking pictures sup
plant musicals on the stage and turns
to making prologues for motion pic
ture theatres on a wholesale scale.
There is a definite and well knit
plot with riotously funny situations
and sparkling comedy. Two teams of
players furnish the love interest play
ed by Janies Cagney and Joan Blon
dell and Ruby Keeler and Dick Pow
ell with Claire Dodd and Renee Whit
ney as the gold digging damsels. A
quartet of famous comedians furnish
<#
a large part of the hilarity. They are
Frank McHugh as the dance director,
Ouy Kibbce, the theatrical magnate,
Ruth Donnelly as his wife and Hugh
Herbert, the company’s milksop cen
sor. Others in the cast include such
noted players as Gordon Westcott:,
Arthur Hold, Philip Faversham, Bar
bara Rogers, Juliet Wafe, Paul Por
casi, Herman Bing, Charles Wilson
and William Granger.
Other attractive offerings at The
Princess during the week include
“Air Hostess,” a romance of the
skies, to be presented Wednesday
and Thursday, and “Orient Express,”
the attraction for Friday and Satur
day. Noted screen stars will be seen
in both these productions.
