DE LUXE THEATRE.

George Raft, so long the "menace" player of the screen, is cast in the role of an enthusiastic band-leader in the film "Every Night, at Eight," which-is at the De Luxe Theatre. It is a production which bases its claim to appeal on the tuneful numbers played by Raft's orchestra and sung by Alice Faye and Frances Langford (whose beautiful voice is worth hearing aside from anything else), and the humour of Patsy Kelly. The three little girls, who are the hit of an office revue, lose their jobs. They are discovered by the band leader during amateur nignt over the radio and under his guidance they turn into a great attraction. From the moment they meet, the band leader is drawn towards one of the girls, and the ad^ ventures of the four, the effort of the Ringers to strike out on their own, and the final reunion form the theme of the film, which is enlivened by bright melodies and by Patsy Kelly who is in fine form. The songs are staged in elaborate style and there is appeal to the eye as well as to the ear. There is a strong supporting bißi with the latest newsreels, a Betty Boop Cartoon, plus a good song, a Paramount Pictorial, and a good film of a girls' orchestra furnishing unusual numbers, "Sirens of Syncopation." In addition the De Luxe Concert Orchestra, under Mr. L. D. Austin, gives such favourite numbers as "Marcheta," in fine style.
