EMPRESS, NEWTON
“BROADWAY MELODY” ~
“Broadway Melody,” the great alltalking, singing and dancing production, now at the Empress Theatre, Newton, has been acclaimed as much by’ the critics as by the public. The picture is most notable, however. because "in it the talkies find new speed and freedom. The microphone and its twin camera poke themselves into backstage corners, into dressing rooms, into rich parties, and hotel bedrooms. Smart Broadway’ dialogue by’ James Gleason is expertly and naturally* spoken. There is one coloured sequence with a new song, ‘The "Wedding of the Painted Doll,’ that will start you dancing.
In addition, the Empress Theatre is presenting several shorter talkie items.
