AT THE MOVIES Betty Burgess Sfars In Romantic Musical Judging from her performance in her first picture, Paramount's tune- ful “Coronado” which opens Friday at the Paramount theatre, you are going to hear a great deal about a young lady named Betty Burgess in the future. | Miss Burgess has the feminine lead | in the musical romance and she’s got what it takes. She is an 18-year-old high school girl who can act as well as | sing and dance, and the ever-increas- ing popularity of musical screen plays no doubt will lead her to top-ranking stardom. “Coronado” is one of the best of ‘this year’s musicals, mainly because of the presence of Eddy Duchin and his popular orchestra, though the singing of both Miss Burgess and Johnny Downs is all that could be asked. The story is the old one of the rich boy and the poor girl in love, with refreshing variations, and is laid against a background of the popular Hotel Coronado in Southern Cali- fornia. Miss Burgess is cast as an entertainer with Duchin’s band in the hotel, while Downs is the carefree son of a wealthy motor manufacturer, of a talent for writing songs. There is a plentitude of comedy in the film, furnished mainly by Jack Haley, Andy Devine, Alice White and Leon Eyroll. Haley and Devine as two sailors returning from the Philip- pines with a pet parrot—and a very Blondell and Farrell In ‘Miss Pacific Fleet’ Joan Blondell and Glenda Farrell, blande menaces of the screen, again teamed as gay gold diggers, will come |to the Capitol Theatre tomorrow, in jthe new Warner Bros. production, | “Miss Pacific Fleet.” Playing with them are those two |inimitable comedians, Hugh Herbert and Allen Jenkins, with Warren Hull, the famous radio singer, in the ro- mantic role. The picture is a gay and |rollicking comedy which also carries |@ glamorous romance. The fun starts in an amusement |park at a naval base on the Pacific |Coast where Joan and Glenda, two stranded chorus beauties, are running @ cane rack. The fleet comes in, and Allen Jenkins, in the role of the champion prize fighter of the fleet, Puts them clear out of business by his skill in ringing canes, Hugh Herbert, in the role of a wily Promoter, suggests a beauty contest. Jenkins agrees to fight the local pug in order to win the 5,000 votes offered as @ prize, to give to Joan. Hilarious situations follow each other in quick succession winding up in a melodramatic smash in which | there is a kidnaping, a motor boat |chase for the abducted girl and a free- for-all battle between sailors, marines and their girls at the contest hall. voluble parrot,.at that—are exception- ally hilarious in their roles and the rubber-legged: Errol hands in one of the best performers of his screen | }, caree.
