ALICE FAYE, TONY MARTIN ROMANCE.

Alice Faye and Tony Martin sing the tunefullest songs you ever heard, as only they know how, in “Sally, Irene and Mary,” new star-glorious musical hit opening next week at the State Theatre. With Fred Allen, of radio’s “Town Hall Tonight” fame, they top the great cast of Darryl F. Zanuck’s latest 20th Century-Fox success. The featured cast includes Jimmy Durante, Gregory Ratoff, Joan Davis, Marjorie Weaver, Louise •Hoyick. Barnett Parker and J. Edward Bromberg. Suggested by the famous stage play by Eddie Dowling and Cyrus Wood, “Sally, Irene and Mary” features eight new dance-happy, croon-lovely song hits. These include “Got My Mind on Music” and “Sweet as a Song" by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel, and “Half Moon on the Hudson” and “I Could Use a Dream,” by Walter Bullock and Harold Spina. Harry Tugend and Jack Yellen wrote the screen play from the original story by Karl Tunberg and Don Ettlinger. William A. Seiter directed.

The first major production on Alexander Korda’s 1938-39 schedule will be “Prison Without Bars,” in which a new screen find, Corinne Luchaire, 17-year-old French girl, will make her English film bow as the star, Mlle. Luchaire, daughter of a well-known French newspaper man, speaks perfect English and received rave notices when she appeared in Continental films. Barry K. Barnes and Edna Best head the supporting cast in the picture, which was adapted from an original French story by Henri Janson.
