STATE THEATRE
"ON IHE AVENOE." Swinging merrily along to the tune of the best songs ever written by the greatest writer of songs in the world, "On the Avenue," sereening to-night at the State Theatre, represents Irving Berlin at his melodions best, in a musical ,that is full of pep and lilting good spirits. With Dick Powell and Madeleine Carroll making a new and romantic twosome of musical comedy, the lively Twentieth Century-Fox musical present a real-life romance of New York, in a show that's as big as the town. Alice Faye, The Ritz Brothers and George Barbier add both melody and mirth to the production. Madeleine Carroll, noted hitherto for straight dramatic roles, makes a charraing sweetheart for Dick Powell. The beginning of "On the Avenue" finds her, as a wealthy debutante, entering a theatre with her father, George Barbier, and an explorer, Alan Mowbray, at the moment that Dick Powell, Alice Faye and the Ritz Brothers are engaged in a hilarious take-off on the home life of "the richest girl in the world."
