It apppars nftcr "GWTW," Is a mngic name with Hollywood, for the cinema city has injected the name "Atlanta" Into two movies, both of which were reviewed at downtown houses this week. They are namely, "Juke Girl," currently at the Fox, and "Maisie Meets Her Man," now playing at Loew'a Grand. A aequence in Loew'a photoplay serves to bring down the house when Maisie informs one of her friends over long distance telephone that she's in Atlanta. This incidentally is one of the best Maisie pictures to date. In "Juke Girl, sn entertaining show starring Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan, at the Fox, Atlanta comes in for another plug.

This time, the Atlanta farmer's market gets the lion's share of the publicity. Kay Kyser and his band provide the music and track down eight Nazi spies in "My Favorite Spy," now at the Roxy theater. Charles Laughton does his best with a fairly good story at the Capitol theater "Tuttles of Tahiti." Jon Hall and Peggy Drake are costarred.

Every city, almost every hamlet, has its historic facsimile of the most noted of Broadways New York's. It is the latter, during one of the most cataclysmic eras of its ceaseless mutations, with which "Broadway," the new Universal film hit.

opening Friday at the Roxy theater, concerns itself. "Broadway," the film, is sn exciting melodrama, both of story and of the fabulous days of "the roaring '20s" when prohibition and violence marked it for historic notoriety. Arrayed in its cast is a brilliant acting personnel headed by George Raft and Pat O'Brien as co-stars, and including Janet Blair, Brod Crawford, Anne Gwynne, Mar-Jorie Rambeau and a host of others. Unusual in its treatment of a basic plot which, as "Broadway," was a smash hit of the legitimate theater in the late '20s, the new Bruce Manning production is a dramatized biographical adaptation in which Raft is presented as George Raft, the film star. In it he relives a critically exciting slice of Broadway night club life which closely parallels his own career experiences when he was reputed to possess "the fastest dancing feet on Broadway." Thus, in the shadows of prohibition era violence.

Raft is caught in the vortex of a dramatic story in which booze, hijacking, killings and quick retribution pound excitingly through the pulse of New York's Broadway. 0 El; A Teamed with Red Skelton who helps to make the going all i the tougher, Ann Sothern is at her best in the latest of the Maisie series "Maisie Gets Her Man" currently playing at Loew's Grand theater. Skelton appears as a stage-struck comedian who bumps into Maisie in a talent scout's office. Skelton gets a job and hires Maisie as his stooge. The procedure is reversed, however, for Red turns out to be Maisie's stooge and they "flop." From here, Maisie gets a job as assistant manager of an office building, rents out a suite to a swindler and later goes to ViiitLiniJMiMWimiMiiiittiitiiiiiiiiif'iinntffrriimifiViirrntniiiiittrninrnw KAY PITCHES WOO AT ROXY Kay Kyser, the ole professor of Kyser Kollege, becomes involved in a Nazi spy hunt in his latest "My Favorite Spy" currently playing at the Roxy theater.

Ellen Drew is the girl. Kay's band provides the swincopation. ACTION AT THE BAR A story of the old west when a firearm was as much a part of a man's dress as his trousers, is "In Old California," which comes to the Rialto theater next Thursday. John Wayne is a druggist who learns to use his fists for his own protection as well as filling prescriptions. Albert Kekker is an unprincipled politician and Binnie Barnes is a pretty saloon queen.

'Professor' Kay Kyser Gives Lesson In How To Track Down Nazi Spies Wayne Is Frontier Hero In Old California' Film Reginald Owen and Donald Meek, working together in "White Cargo" at Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer, celebrated a joint event recently when both were signed on new long-term contracts by the studio. Owen has been with Metro-Goldwyn Mayer nearly ten years and Meek about five. Kay Kyser, the "Ole Professor," gives out with one easy lesson on how to capture eight foreign spies in "My Favorite Spy," which is a week's run at the Roxy theater. The maestro, however, finds it takes more than one lesson to reconcile the "little lady" to his meandering around at night alone. The story concerns itself with the awkward plight of a young Army lieutenant, Kay Kyser, who was called into the Army erroneously.
