It is a gay sparkling romance of young love, filled with the pathos and heart aches necessary for a good drama.

It was from his pen that the rollicking fun and drama of the all talking, singing romance “Cheer Up and Smile” was taken. To Dixie Lee Fox Movietone featur ed player, and Olga Baclanova went the co-featured roles. The first two mentioned have scored previous sue- | cesses in youthful roles, and their | work as sweethearts in this picture of J the campus nights and Broadway , lights reflects their abilities to the highest advantage. j “Whispering” Jack Smith is another | Fox Movieton featured player who carries away honors in “Cheer Up and Smile.” Much of the infectious humor of the dialog, and the heart appeal of the many tuneful songs, spring from his winning personality. Others in the splendid cast are Charles Judels, Johnny Arthur, John Darrow, Sumner Getehell, Franklin Pangborn and Buddy Mes singer. “FAST^gSlTn A NEW ROLE Ginger Rogers, whirlwind comedi enne of the New York stage musical comdey hit, “Top Speed" plays one of the principal roles in “Young Man of Manhattan/' Paramount's talking screen version of Katherine Brush’s famous best selling novel which comes to the Peoples Theatre Wednesday and Thursday August 13-14.
