STATE THEATRE.
It is impossible to see and hear the eight-year-old boy, Bobby Breen, and not to- give him a permanent place among favourite stars. In the E.K.O. Radio, film "Let's Sing Again" he makes a brilliant debut, not as a precocious child with a single talent, helped out by more seasoned players, but as a charming personality and the possessor of a delightful tenor voice which would alone justify his sudden leap to fame, without his histrionic ability. Among his numbers are "La Donna c Mobile" from "Rigoletto," "Santa Lucia," "Lullaby." and I'he haunting theme song "Let's Sing Again." George Houston's fine voice also adds to the musical value of the film. The charming Vivienne Osborne is the lady of the piece. The story is absorbingly constructed, working up to a satisfying climax when the boysinger, through the songs he learned in cradle-days, discovers his father, who has also won recognition for his singing. The aupporting programme includes a clever colour feature, "Felix the Cat."
