"SAFETY IN NUMBERS."

"Buddy Rogers worked his talking-aureen alchemy at the Can- tral Theatre in Safety in Num- bero," which is as close to amuse- |ment perfection as a talkie-single

could be.

The plot deals with the fortunda of a young heir to wealth who is sent to New York by guardian unclo to be schooled in the ways of the wily world. The teachers whom the uncle wisely chooco for this job are three georgeous "Follies" girls.

The girls are pledged to refrain fron vamping "Buddy" but they can't help falling for him. Neither can two other girls whom he meets in his spirited gallivanting around Gotham. One day a group, from the "Follies" comes to the girls apart. |ment to rehearse a new song and danco number. "Buddy" inter- rupta' the proceedings by proposing. one he wrote himself. The producer likes it and buys it from "Buddy": Meanwhile "Buddy" has fallen hard for one of his teachers. After a series of amusing adventures, in which music and, song play a big part Buddy wins the girl.

Richard Tucker, a veteran of the films, plays the role of the uncle. The five girls who **romanticate with the effervescing "Buddy" are Carol Lombard, Kathryn Crawford, Josephine Dunn, Virginia Bruce and Genova Mitcheli.
