Comedians Take Advantage Of The Drunk In Action Film Whooping with laughs, ting ling with tunes, sixsling with swing and ablaxe with names, "Sing, Baby, Sing” opens at th* Waaoca Theatre Thursday foi a mad jamboree of funmakers, stars and stooges, songsters and show-stoppers, that is one oi the most hilarious triumphs ev «r brought to the screen. With Alice Faye, Adolphe Menjou, Gregory Ratoff, Ted Healy, Patsy Kelly, Michael Whalen and a trio of very wel come screen newcomers, the Rita Brothers, “Sing, Baby, Sing” stars off in a gale of laughter that increases steadi ly until it is a raging tornado of mirth at the rib-racking cli max. Alice Faye is given her no tice at a night club in which she has been singing. She goes to see her agent, Gregory Rat off, to get another booking, and finds that Ratoff is about to lose his office for neglecting to pay the rent. During Alice’s last evening at the cafe, Ratoff notices the celebrated Adolphe Menjou in the audience. Menjou has come East for a rest and to get and remain as pie-eyed as possible. Ratoff and Healy assist and Menjou develops a terriffic thirst for a new beverage, and as Ratoff and Healy are the on ly ones who are able to get it, he sticks to them closely. Ratoff gets Alice a contract •with a radio chain—on the pro vision that Menjou also appear on the opening program. How ever, Menjou’s manager arrives from Hollywood, kidnaps the errant celebrity, and is about to whisk him back to the movie capitol when Healy and Patsy Kelly come to the rescue. Four new songs, “Love Will Tell”, “Sing, Baby, Sing”, “You Turned the (Tables On Me” and “When Did You Leave Heav en?” provide musical inter ludes for the never-ending laughs.

While abnormally hot weattyer was nation-wide, the South and Midwest were more seriously affected, Kansas City reporting a record temperature of 112. The condition tended to curtail Fall shopping, but in many cities, promotion sales boosted the volume. Furni ture and housefurnishings con tinued in strong demand. Lead ing wholesale markets reported some tapering off of enthusiasm over Fall goods as a result of the heat, but the turnover was considerably ahead of last year. Retail trade in Eastern and Pa cific Coast cities was not as seriously affected by the heat. Notwithstanding severe drouth conditions in the Min neapolis area, merchants in Minnesota, the Dakotas, North ern Idaho and Montana were optimistic, a survey showed, and people were in a spending ■ mood. The region had scat I tered rains and slightly cooler I weather. Crop losses in the St. Louis and Kansas City area ■were enlarged by the intense | heat with water supplies lowest in years and many farmers hauling water and buying feed. Beneficial rains fell in the Cin cinnati area. The Dallas re port said intense heat had Checked cotton picking, but that all unemployed would be ab sorbed. Corn and pastures con tinued to suffer in the Louis ville section, but tobacco was in good shape and the wheat 'crop was estimated at two mil lion bushels greater than last year. Good rains improved the lation in Alabama, accord to the Birmingham report, prospects in the Memphis ion were not as good as ten ago.

The sec !ond week of tobacco sales il Georgia resulted in the distri bution of $7,260,000 to grower! at an average of 23 cents i pound, according to the Atlan ta report, which also said Geor gia fanners received $3,000,000 more from principal crops in the first half of the year than bushels, shorter. Jacksonville in the same period last year, al though the corn is 13,000,000 estimated the season’s ship ment of citrus fruits at 27 mil lion boxes.
