Coming to Plaza.

The name of Hal Roach has become synonymous with entertainment of popular appeal. He is now recqgnised as Hollywood's No. 1 producer of comedies, following his highly successful "Merrily We -Live,": "Topper." and the Laurel and Hardy comedies. "There Goes My Heart," which commences screening at the Plaza Theatre on Friday is the first film to be produced under his new arrangement with United Artists. is said to be the, merriest comedy romance to come to the screen since "Merrily We Live." The leading roles are clayed by Vir-j ginia Bruce and Fredric March, and the supporting cast includes Patsy Kelly, Eugene Palette, Alan Mowbray. Nancy Carroll, and Arthur Lake. The story tells of a madcap heiress who: becomes bored with her fortune and her yacht, goes to work in a bargain basement, and eats hamburgers with a roving reporter instead of caviare. It was written by the well-known columnist Ed Sullivan and opens with Joan Butterfield (Virginia Bruce), "the richest girl in the world" sailing away on the quiet with her grandfather's yacht and cutting loose in New York, freedom and adventure bound. The heiress is recognised by a roving reporter (Fredric March). Pretending to believe her just another shopgirl, they are soon having a grand time, and unexpected adventure in a new world for the heiress. Although she succeeded in running away from her millions she could not run away from the love that developed between them. The swift-moving story of their gay romping romance makes happy screen entertainment. ' Some of the most hilarious scenes are those that take I place in an ice-skating rink and in a department store showing Patsy Kelly demonstrating electric vibrators. j
