Showing at the

Alhambra

Fifty beautiful chorus girls; cast which includes such outstand- ing names as those of James Dunn," Liliar Roth, Cliff Edwards, June Knight, Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Lilian Bond, Dorothy Lee, and Lona Audre; a battery of song writers and lyricists that reads like a Who's Who of Tin Pan Alley and the expert production of Messrs. Laurence Schwab, William Rowland and Monte Brice, combine to make Paramount's musical extravaganza, "Take a Chance," one of the de- lights of the current" season."

"Take A Chanco" opened yester- day at the Alhambra Theatre. This picture must not be classified an just another book-stage romance. Its scenes range all the way from a carnival side show, through a Awanky gambling club, uut to the homes of the socially elite on Long Island and back to Broadway. Beautiful unsic, beautiful girls, outstanding work by the all-star cast and a strong story full of thrills, laughter and nonsense are carefully blended into a picture, that is a pleasure to sit through, Lot once but several times.

haps, the most important capture the films have made since talkies arrived. Feodor Ivanovitch Cha liapine, a native of Kazan, had a ahoemaker's apprentice, railway porter and stevedore before he made his operatic debut in 1802; since then he has progressed to international renown and has toured all the principal cities of the world as an operatie star. The. film is not, in fact, based on that opera but is taken from Cervantes classic story by Paul Morand the French writer. Special music bas been written for Chaliapine's three songs.

The English treatment is the work of John Farrow, the English scen- arist from Hollywood. In the im portant role of Sancho Panza; Don.
