"Colleen" which opens to-day at the Queen's Theatre, is a rollicking musi cul comedy with an all-star cast in- cluding Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Jack Ouki, Joan Blondel, Hugh Her bert, Louise Fazends and Paul Drapers' The story, written by Robert Lord, is packed with rollicking comedy, manco and a touch of real drama. There is more of a plot than in the the and concerns ordinary musical cfforts of Powell to straighten out the business affairs of his wealthy and cccentric uncle, as well as his love scrapes. Incidentally Dick and Min Keeler go in for xonie romancing and are all tied up in a score of hilarious

entanglements, which aro eventually straightened out in a smashing climax. Two mammoth and spectacular num- bers were created and staged by Bobby Connolly with scores of beauti ful chorus girls. One tukes place on an ocean liner, specially built for the picture and the other in a modiste shop in which is presented a gorgeous fashion show. The settings are not only unique and unusual, but excep tlonally beautiful, displaying new de aigns of glass and streamline furni- ture, as well as the latest mode in gowns. There are three songs written for the production by Harry Warren and Al Dulin, acé team of song writers of Broadway and Hollywood, Miss Keeler has a winsome, wistful personality that everyone falls in love with.
