A STUPENDOUS PRODUCTION AT THE GAIETY.

Superlatives are trite — but they must be used after vicwing and liearing the feature now showing at the Gaiety de Luxe Theatre. You'll use thein youi'self. Clialk up "Married In Hollywood" as the biggest thing the speaking screen has ever offered — an all talkmg, singing and danoing Viennese romance with the most brilliant music, the fastest and niost delicious stovy, and tlie best singing cast yet presented to the public. In everytluy parlance, it's a "knock-out." Norma Terris and J. Harold Murray reveal the two finest voices of any talkie to date, and they are splendidly supported by Tom Patricola, John Garriek, Walter Cntlett, Lelia Karnellv, Irene Palasty, Lennos Pawle, Douglas Gillhote and a host of o.thev notables. For the first time in film history music oi true operatic quality is presented in number after nuinber, writfcen by Oscar Straus and David Stamper. _ Not second in importance to tlie principals, is the ensemble composed of a singing chorus of 100 and a dancing group of 60. Edward Royce, rated as the foremost dircetor of stage ensembles botli in America and Europe, has given his art and experienee to the direction of the ensembles. In the palmiest day^ of musical comedy or Hght operetta more than one song hit that lingered in iuemory was unusual. Tn "Married in Hollywood," a Fox Movietone musical romnnee, there are nine distinetive song hits, one of which, "Dance Atvay the NiHit," with music by Dave Stamper and lyrics by Harlan Thompson, is destined to surpass in popularity "Tlie Merry Wiclow Waltz'-' of a gen'eration ago. Tlie same composers have evolved another tuneful number,. "Uufit Oue Comes Along," which will run "Dance Away the Night" a close race for popularity. And still a third. entfaneing number is "Deep in Love," with music bv Osear Straus and lyrics by Harlan Thompson. "Married Tn: Hollywood" is based on the operetta; by Oscar. Straus. _ News from all parts of the world is vividlv presented in the three latest "Souhfl" Topicals, Paramount, Pathe. and Fox News.
