CROSBY, BURNS, ' RAYE SCORE IN BIG LAUGH HIT The hit trio of "Rhythm 011 the Range," Bing Crosby, Bob Burns and Martha Raye, aided and abetted by Shirley Itoss and a supporting cast of two hundred and fifty dancers, musicians and specialty performers, returns to the Henn Theater Monday and Tuesday, May 1(M 1 in anothei comedy hit, "Waikiki Wedding." "Waikiki Wedding" is a gay and robust comedy, garnished with splendid music, both instrumental and vocal, of the romance between a publicity agent and a contest winner, played respectively by Crosby, and Miss Ross. Miss Ross wins a trip to Waikiki in a world-wide contest organ ized by Crosby to find a new pineapple recipe. She doesn't find the place nearly as glamorous as she thought it was and prepares to leave. Realizing this would ruin his campaign, Crosby takes it upon himself to make Waikiki glamorous. This he f does with a vengeance. He falls in lrtv? ?v?*h \IJ~~ ? ivw.-?3 i?? (tie procesB aiiu when she discovers that Crosby had tricked her she is heartbroken. Then Hroshy has to win her hack all over again and the way in which he does this furnishes some gencuine high I comedy in the belly-laugh bracket. A second romance between Burns and Miss Raye, also runs through the picture. ? igflp i Martha Raye, one of the Honolulu lulus of "Waikiki Wedding", the gay j comedy with music coming to the Henn Theatre, Monday, May 17, essays a high one and probably makes it in the photograph above. Bing Crosby, Bob Burns and Shirley Ross provide mos tof the fun, music and romance.
