RIALTO, NEWMARKET
“HIT THE DECK”
Several fascinating dances are seen in “Hit the Deck,” at the Rialto Theatre.
The first dance stars Polly Walker, the nimble Follies beauty in the “coffee shop” scene. Miss Walker also sings “Loo Loo,” supported by a dancing and singing chorus of 1(> sailors. Jack Oakie is at his best in the next number, “Sez You, Sez Me,” in a street number with eight pretty girls. The elaborate “Shore Leave” number follows, utilising 24 girls and 24 men and all the principals. The finale presents a galaxy of mermaids being dragged aboard the battleship by sailors —a unique dance in technicolour.
