MUNICIPAL THEATRE

"REDHEADS ON PARADE" AND "HARD ROCK HARRIGAN." Rhythmic, fast-paced, gorgeously mounted, filled with gay tunea and glamorous gixls., ' ' Redheads on Parade" screens at Ihe Municipal Theatre to-night. The burden of the action of this lularious new musical comedy falls on the capable shoulders of John Boles and adorable Dixie Lee who carry out their assigninents in fresh and admirable style. . Supported by Jack Haley, Alan Dinehart, Raymond Walburn, Herman Bmg and Williaxn Austin, and by gorgeons ensembles of adorable redheads. they play the romantic leads in this rhapsody in red. As for the plot of "Redheads on Parade," it is a deliciously amusing story about the production of motion pictures. Dinehart is the producer, Boles is the star, but right in the middlo of the production they find themselves with no picture at all, because their backers have backed out. George O'Brien gives one of the best performances of his career in "Hard Rock Harrigan," which is the second feature. The story, which is replete with dramatic suspense, fast-moving action and pleasing romunce, concerns a feud between a husky hardrock driller. played by George O'Brien, and his tunnel boss, portrayed by Fred Kohler, who are engaged in drilling a tunnel through a mountainside to complete a gigantic aqueduct project. The action occurs principally in a construetion camp and deep within the interior of the tunnel.
