HOLLYWOOD HOTEL
"Hollywood Hotel," in the form of a musical comedy, has it's showing at the Queen's and Alhambra Theatres today, as a presentation from Warner Bros. It is not merely an episode entertain- ment, Ike its namesake of the ether-waves, but a fully-plotted. dramatic show with a star-studded cast.
Dick Powell has the most im- portant part-that of & young crooner who comes to Hollywood, with promises of a movie job, and” gets into all sorts of difficulties be- fore he wins success.
The Lane sisters. Lola and Rosemary, have the ledding femla · Ine roles, the former as a tempera- mental movie star who refuses to appear at a premiere, and the latter as a totally obscure hotel worker who takes Lola's place on the big night.
Louella Parsons, famed dramatic critic and originator of the 'Holly-. wood Hotel" air show, plays her- self in the picture.
