“NIX ON DAMES’’ Most talking pictures, regardless of the number of song numbers incorporated in them, have only one /‘theme song” to carry out the general spirit of the film. Among the distinctive features of ‘‘Nix On Dames.” the alltalking Fox Movietone production of actors at home now at the Plaza is a dual theme song. The unusual story, woven about a team of acrobats who are professed woman-haters, and their experiences with two vaudeville actresses, contains a dual romance, and one theme song wouldn’t do. as the characater types are diametrically opposed to one another.

These two numbers, ‘‘Two Pals” and “The Song of My Heart,” are rapidly becoming best-sellers in the musical field, despite the fact that the picture has been released but a short time. The Plaza’s new programme will also include a number of bright supporting items
