ALFREDTON TALKIES
THURSDAY'S PROGRAMME. Catchy songs, magnificent settings two famous band organisations, r swiftly paced inside story of Hollywood life, and a star-studded cas’ headed by Dick Powell are some of the elements which make up the musical hit of the season, “Hollywood Hotel,’' which will be shown at Alfredton on Thursday night. Dick Powell has the best role of his career and sings tunes that will send patrons away whistling them. Opposite him play two of the famous Lane sisters —Lola as a temperamental movie queen and Rosemary as a waitress. A stellar array of laughmakers arc at their rollicking best. Ted Healy as the freelance photographer who becomes Dick Powell's manager, Hugh Herbert as the father of the movie star give inimitable performances. Alan Mowbray plays the handsome leading man in an outstanding manner. In “Hollywood Hotel," every phase of an authentic picture is portrayed. from the showing of a picture inside a theatre to the departure of the stars and guests. Waiting throngs rush police lines and autograph seekers lay siege in lobby and on sidewalk to win the coveted signatures.
