SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1951 THE DAILY TI MES.GAZETTE et PAGE SEVENTEEN REGENT "LULLABY OF BROADWAY" NEW TECHNICOLOR MUSICAL COMING TO THE REGENT Broadway, Mecca of Americad show business, is indeed more than Just a paved strip of glaring neon, spectacular animation and wide- eyed tourists straining for a glimpse of a celebrity. No, this heartbeat of the entertainment industry, glorified by the Ziegfelds and the Jolsons, may be likened to Sheherezade of the Arabian Nights--master story-teller with a thousand and one yarns about the hopes, joys and heart- breaks 'of those who seek their fame and fortune within its boundaries. And now, one of these fascinating tales has been set to music in a lowing screen tribute to the Great hite Way. "Lullaby of Broadway,' Warner Bros.' Technicolor musical extrava- ganza which opens next Friday at the Regent Theatre, starring singing and dancing stars Doris Day and Gene Nelson, supported by 'come- dians Billy De Wolfe, S. Z. Sakall and Ann Triola, and Gladys George, is the heart-warming story draped against a background of some of the most lavish productions numbers ever filmed. The picture which centers around show folk and their often hilarious attempts to make the grade, is well- laden with such all-time favorite songs as 'Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart," 'Somebody Loves Me," "In a Shanty In Old Shanty Town," "Just One Of Those Things" and the title tune. Also featured in. "Lullaby of Broadway" are Hanley Stafford, Florence Bates and the Page Cavan- augh Trio, well-known night club artists. A Bugs Bunny Cartoon, "Bunker Hill Bunny" and the latest Para- mount News rounds out anter en- tertainment packed Regent program. 'HALF ANGEL," STORY OF SEXY SLEEPWALKER, OPENING HERE, ON WEDNESDAY AT THE PLAZA STARRING YOUNG AND COTTEN Loretta Young and Joseph Cotten are re-united as a sophisticated comedy team in 'Half Angel,' the Twentieth Century-Fox comedy ro- mance in Technicolor, which will be the attraction at the Plaza Theatre on Wednesday to Saturday. They last appeared together in 'The Farmer's Daughter," which won for Miss Young an Academy Oscar. "Half Angel" deals hilariously with the psychiatrically common split personality. Everyone, accord- ing to medical science, has a con- scious and a subconscious mind and as the young lady who loves a man one day and doesn't know him the next, Miss Young keeps the story moving at a swift pace. The story i both Young and Cotten into a t of funny hot water. The stars are supported by a particularly competent cast includ- ing Cecil Kellaway, Basil Ruysdael, Jim Backus, Irene Ryan and John Ridgely and¢ they were guided in their comedy antics by Richard Sale, who, with his wife Anita Loos, has written a long string of suc- cesses, including "Mother Is a Freshman," and "Mr. Belvedere Goes to College," and who directed "Ticket to Tomahawk' and "I'll Get By." Julian Blaustein, who produc- ed 'Broken Arrow' and "Mr. 880" had charge of the production which was photographed in color by ace cinematographer Milton Krasner, In the glamorous part of her dual personality, Miss Young's wardrobe, designed by Travilla, would do credit to a Paris couturier's best efforts. Ler evening gowns, negligees and sircet dresses are in the most mod- e:n style and, as set off by the Technicolor cameras, they will de- 1 ;ht women and will be particularly irtriguing to the men, especially the V neckline. Robert Riskin wrote "the screen vy for "Half Angel" from a story George Cariton Brown. Water Follies With all the public agitation that the big grandstand at the Canadian Nea'ional Exhibition should be the scene of stage shows other than the annual C.N.E. Presentation for two weeks in the year, 'The Water Fol- lies of 1951" will be the first attrac- tion to be put on at this entertain- ment keypoint during the non-Ex- hibition season. A combined aqua- cade ®and stage extravaganza, com- pete with portable tank measuring 175 by 385 feet, this will have a three?nights engagement here, com- mencing Thursday evening, June 21, plus a special Saturday matinee. The stage and water spectacle, during 1950, had a highly enthusiastic re- ception throughout the United States, Britain and South America, and is currently enjoying huge suc- cess this season in the major cities of the United States, The two-and-a-half-hour musical revue in water and a stage features Olympics swimming and diving champions, the famed watér baliet, a corps of diving clowns, plus on- stage scenes which include a chorus and line of precision dancers, and Broadway musical comedy stars. Outstanding are the gorgeous cos- tumes and. spectacular lighting ef- fects backgrounding this "theatre under the stars," where smoking is permitted in addition to free car parking and special streetcar service. "The Water Follies of 1951" will be presented on the world's largest portable pool and stage, with 13 spectacular water scenes and ten stage numbers in an extravaganza I by that marks an entirely new depar-| ture in the field of entertainment, The ballet has been present on-toe on stage and on ice surfaces and has been done on roller-skates, but now it is being staged in the water for special choreography that makes full use of slow motion in the grace- ful timing of swimming as adapted to the ballet forms. Lending further piquancy, apart from tthe stage in- terludes, are the high-diving and special swimming-style exhibitions. Doris Day and a member of the famed Page Cavanaugh Trio perform a specialty musical number as Gene Nelson looks on admiringly. The scene is from "Lullaby Of Broadway," the new Warner Bros. musical film in Technicolor, due next Friday at the Regent Theatre. World's greatest collection of diving stars pictured above are: Emile Hotte, Canadian diving champion , . . pion . . . Miss Norma Dean, women's professional diving champion . . .
