I Accounts Acclaim New
Movietone Romance
I In “Cheer Up and Smile," Fox Mov
jietone has approached the ideal In
lending story appeal and sophlstica
it ion to a love romanee born on a
; college campus, we hear from the au
■ tnentic preview sourees.
■ “Cheer Up and Smile," which opens
r.ext Monday and Tuesday at the Peo
ples Theatre is such a picture. It is
a gay sparkling romance of young
love, filled with the pathos and heart
aches necessary for a good drama.
While searching for the ideal story
of this type, the magazine story by
Richard Connell. “If I was Alrne With
You,” came under observation. 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

in the character of Dr. Fu Manchu, j

mily whose members were obliterated
by the Oriental out of V^'ngenace

fects the capture of Nayland Smith.
Scotland Yard detective, and Lia El
tham, his ward. Smith escapes the
