TATE THEATRE

"DON'T GET PERSONAL" "Don't Get Personal" which begins its run at the State Theatre to-mor-row, is a rollicking romance in a flivver on the open road ; a l&ughable yarn about two earefree lads and a lovely /ass. Sally Eilerg is seen as the impetuous girl \ Jimmy Dunn and Pinky Tom-

lin are roving modern youths and the flivver is played by Lizzie the Foiirteenth. Parts of thirteen other cai-s were used in creating Lizzie. • Besides the rich humour of the situations and the lines, the picture offers music of contagious tunefnlness. There are two numbera sung by Pinky Tomlin, "I Won't Take No For An Answer" and "Barnyard Serenade." Pinky wrote thes© selections especially for the production. He will be recalled as the composer of another song success, "Object of My Affections." The fun begins at the outset, when the two young) men offer their services at publie auction. A maiden lady of determined appearance is about to take them over with a bid of either two hearts or two dollars, when Sally doubles her and wins by finesse. Then the trio starts to tour the country to hring: Sally to her home, which the boys learn, afted closing the deal, is 1000 miles away. The situations become more hilarious as the complications increase. "Don't Get Personal" is something you must see, if you will accept a bit of personal advice. To-night the ttnal screening takes place of "Under Your Spell," the musical starring Lawrence Tibbett, the famous opera singer.
