"Melody and Moonlight", star
ring Johnny Downs and Vera
Vague, will come to the uptown
theatre for "bargain day" next
Wednesday only.
Downs, as a would-be hoofer on
the down beat, meets up with Jane
Frazee, society deb, who is out ι
slumming at one of the city's no
torious dime-a-dance emporiums,
as her last fling in resentment of
her father's tyrannical insistence
that she marry and settle down in
stead of seeking the theatrical life
she insists upon.
After winning a dancing cup at |
the emporium, becoming involved:
in a brawl which ensues, falling in
love with the personable Downs,
she starts a Dancing School of the
Air, which is stopped before the
broadcast by the tyrannical father
(Jonathan Hale), who brings pres
sue to bear on the sponsor, and the
final intervention of Mary Lee,
Downs' little sister, who brings
matters out into the open, winding
matters up to every one's satisfac
tion, the audience included.

Jane Withers and Jane Darwell,
will come to the Imperial Theatre
next week for a two-day run on
Thursday and Friday. This pic-1
ture was secured at the last min- j
ute and a review was not available, j
However, the film is said to iiave
all the characteristics of a With
ers story with added punches here
and there. A show with an appeal
for all ages.

tern story, "Range Busters", which
promises to give the lover of the
great outdoors plenty of thrills.
