JSil 'Hitting a New With Lily Pons, Is Seen at the Rivoli 'You're a Sweetheart' Is Feature at the Roxy. On the heels of word from Hollywood that her RKO-Radio contract has not been renewed, Lily Pons arrived on the screen of the Rivoli Theater as the star of "Hitting a New High." If this film can be accepted as a reason for RKO's action, then this studio may easily learn why it is not satisfied with the opera star's movie appeal.

Here Miss Pons appears as a young French singer, torn between her desire to sing grand opera and a band leader's business advice to build her career in a Broadway night club. The film, of course, gives her an opportunity to do both. In her operatic arias from "Lucia de Lammermoor," and "Mignon" her artistic brilliance reaches the 'r I 1 1 I 1 WfTm Jed Harris Presents 'A Doll's House' and Ruth Gordon, Sam JarTe and Paul Lukas Play It Beautifully Jed Hams is back!

But in her "swing" scenes she is merely resorting- to cumbersome, often monotonous, vocal gymnastics.

Thus the blame must not be placed upon the talented soprano but upon those who havc chosen to burden her with a type of singing for which she is not suited for which she has no; been trained. Consider with this a confusing plot and Miss Pons emerges from "Hitting a New High" not as its drawback, but as one of its chief salvations. When Jack Oakie, as Corny, press agent for the dependable Edward Everett Horton this time a wealthy big game hunting patron of the opera contribute their usual allotment oi humor, "Hitting a New High" becomes a fair bit of entertainment. Convinced that he lias found operatic talent when he hears Miss Pons perform at a Paris cabaret, Press Agent Oakie plants her, attired in a costume of feathers, in the midst of an African jungle.

With only a less-than-average story to hold it together, "You're a Sweet-heater" makes the grade by virtue of its lilting score, fresh, lively dancing by George Murphy, and a slimmer Alice Faye who has added a touch or emotional acung 10 ner i superior ability as a "blues" singer. The opening scene finds Ken Mur- ray and thc inevitable 0wald like Miss Faye, from the radio world rehearsing "Oh. Oh, Oklahoma," starring the blonde singer, for its New York opening. Faced with the competition of a society benefit, Murray and a hotel bellhop, played by Mr. Murphy, plan a huge pub-: licity hoax i known only to these two) in which the bellboy assumes the role of a multi-millionaire "oil boy" and.

on the pretens of being "enamored of Miss Faye," buys out the house for the first week. Through its publicity scheme the show makes th? headlines and finally opens to the public after a few financial obstacles are overcome with the help of its fast-thinking star. How Murphy goes through Murray's money to the producer's chagrin and ultimately to his own unhappiness. for Miss Faye dislikes publicity stums is all that is left to the story. Aside from this ls the musical including "I'm a Sweetheart" and 'Scrapin' the Toast." in which both Miss Faye and Mr.

Murphy have a chance to rise above thc ordinary substance of the play itself. Also at the Roxy is a fast moving stage show with clowns in mufti, trained elephants, Yuletide music and Nick Lucas another radio favorite to delight the vacationing youngsters. H. C.
