THEATRE

An all-star cast, supported by 300 of Hollywood's most beautiful girls are featured in Warner Brothers' musical extravaganza, "Dames," the Alhambra Theatre's New Year offering.

Outstanding in the cast are Joan Blondell, Dick Powell, Ruby Keel- Jer, Guy Kibbce. Zasu Pitts, and

Hugh Herbert

The story, by the well-known playwrights, Robert Lord and Del- mer Daves, is a hilarious comedy tinged with a glamorous romance. It treats of a somewhat hypocri-i tical and highly eccentric multi millionaire whose chief concern in life is other people's morals, but who eventually gets drunk cough medicine and is taken for a "ride" by a gold digging chorus girl.
