ANOTHER musical extravaganza<br />
for the Nixon Theatre.<br />
Hassard Short will present<br />
his all-star musical comedy,<br />
"One Sunny Day'' there for one<br />
week only, beginning Monday,<br />
January 16.<br />
It is a rollicking comedy, full<br />
of humor and wit, dancing and<br />
singing, with a chorus of more<br />
than a hundred beauties.<br />
One of the biggest and most<br />
dazzling collection of stars ever<br />
assembled, heads this cast and<br />
includes among others, Frank<br />
Mclntyre, Lynne 0 v e r m a n,<br />
Jeanette MacDonald, Billy B.<br />
Van, Carl Randall. Rosalie<br />
Claire, Audrey Maple, Margie<br />
Finley, Maurice Holland, Peggy<br />
Cornell, Evangeline Raleigh, Bob<br />
Lively, Sidney Hawkins and<br />
Peggy Dolan.<br />
The comedy is based on the<br />
French farce that pleased Paris<br />
for many months, "Mile. Montmarte,"<br />
written by Maurice Hennequin<br />
and adapted by Clifford<br />
Grey and William Cary Duncan.<br />
The lyrics are by the same two,<br />
the music by Jean Schwartz<br />
with additional numbers by<br />
Eleanor Dunsmuir. The dances<br />
were arranged by Earl Lindsay,<br />
the book staged by Marcel Varnel<br />
and the settings are by Watson<br />
Barratt.<br />
Now it seems there is a nice<br />
little dancer, her name is Ginette<br />
and she dances at the Cafe La-<br />
Rouge in the Latin Quarter. She<br />
has many suitors, but the<br />
favored one is Lucien, who. is<br />
going to marry Ginette after his<br />
book, which is to be a dramatic,<br />
thrilling tale, telling of Ginette's<br />
rise from nothing to something,<br />
is published and Lucien is loaded<br />
down with francs. But Ginette<br />
has been very friendly with<br />
Monsieur Leon Lambert, head of<br />
the banking firm bearing his<br />
name, and word reaches Lucien<br />
that their friendly relations are<br />
not all they should be. Lucien,<br />
quite disturbed, goes to Ginette<br />
and asks her to give him an explanation<br />
which Ginette obligingly<br />
does. The explanation is<br />
worse than the condition, and<br />
for three acts, a much misunderstood<br />
Ginette tries to keep the<br />
situation from getting out of<br />
control and losing her Lucien.<br />
DAVIS<br />
The Younger Foys, sons and<br />
daughters of the famous comedian,<br />
Eddie Foy, will entertain<br />
Davis Theatre audiences for the<br />
week beginning Monday afternoon,<br />
January 16. The screen<br />
feature for the week will be "The<br />
Spotlight," with Esther Ralston<br />
in the leading role. Following<br />
closely upon the appearance of<br />
the elder Foy at the same theatre,<br />
the Young Foys come to<br />
present a variety of Foyism. For<br />
a while the children appeared<br />
with the father in vaudeville,<br />
then one became a song and<br />
scenario writer. The remaining<br />
six are still a vaudeville unit.<br />
They give imitations, songs,<br />
dances and a miscellaneous assortment<br />
of laughs.<br />
