ENTERTAINMENT ART
HITS PEAK WITH “RIO RITA”
“RIO RITA,” the all-talking, all
musical Radio Piictures’ extravagan
za which opens Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday at Royal Theatre, O’Neill,
is evidence—tuneful, colorful evi
dence—that the screen has touched a
new high mark in entertainment.
Interesting as is the story, lavish
as are the sets and costumes, it is
the singing and acting of the large
cast of principals that lift “Rio
Rita” to the penk in audience ap
peal.
Bebe Daniels, in the title role, is
no less than a sensation with her
new-found voice. No heralded prima
donna of the opera ever so fascinat
ed an audience as does Miss Daniels
as she sings more than a dozen of
Harry Tierney’s beautiful melodies.
John Boles, erstwhile musical com
edy star, is excellent us leading man
with Miss Daniels. Presing the lead
ing characters for honors of the
piece, however, are Bert Wheeler,
Dorothy Lee and Robert Woolsey,
who give to the show not only a gen
erous share of comedy, but contrib
ute much to its large share of sing
ing and dancing.
Helen Kaiser, one of the girls
Ziegfeld “glorified" in the stage ver
sion of “Rio Rita"; Don Alvarado,
George Renevant, Nick de Ruiz, and
Eva Rosita are others who add much
to the appeal of “Rio Rita.”
One of the highlights of the show,
so plentiful with highlights, is the
Pearl Eaton chorus of 100 of Holly
wood’s mose beautiful dancing girls.
The Cimini Grand Chorus of 80
voices; Victor Baravalle’s Symphony
orchestra and a night club show', in
troducing some grand specialty acts,
round out the fulsome entertaiinment
of "Rio Rita."
