"It's Love Again" Starring Jessie Matthews At Louisburg Theatre Thursday - Friday, July 9-10th. If you like hot dancing. if you go for Singable tunes, if you want star value for your movie money, "It's Love Again" coming Thurs day-Friday, July 9-10, to Louis burg Theatre, is your picture. It's the latest vehicle produced by OB for its talented Jessie Matthews, and It is said by critics who have previewed it to surpass in enter tainment value the best In screen musical comedy. Its generous allotment of dance numbers includes stage ensembles tap routines, ballroom figures and finally an exotic Temple Dance which Is tops for novelty among any introduced before by Miss Matthews. The picture's song hits, already first favorites on the radio, in clude "I Nearly Let Love Go Slip ping Through My Fingers," "Got to Dance My Way to Heaven," "Tony's in Town" and "It's Love Again." Cyril Wells gets his first big chance as Miss Matthews' dancing partner In "It's Love Again." Ex tra star value is offered by the presence of Robert Young as the romantic lead, while comedy la given over to Sonnie Hale, who has appeared in the previous pic tures to popularize Miss Matthews. The story characterizes Jessie as a chorus girl who has no Job but plenty of nerve. Enough nerve In fact, to Impersonate a purely imaginary young woman created by a not-too-conscientious column ist. Once begun, the Impersona tion continues until Jessie is call ed upon to Indulge In many ori ental eccentricities, Including camel-ridding, tiger-shooting and affaires-du-coeur with assorted Maharajahs. How her reward la secured in the shape of stardom In a revue, International fame and a hand some husband is told with a sprightly sense of comedy and story values.
