Murder Man & After Dick Powell Now

The Dance At Loew’s

At Apollo Theatre

Today brings to the silver screen of Loew's theatre, two more first run ( major pictures on a double program The first picture, which is being shown all over the country as a single feature, is the Metro Goldwyn Mayer producton, “The Murder Man,” starring Spencer Tracey, Virginia Bruce, Lionel Atwill and Harvey Stephens The story of “The Murder Man,” unlike it’s name, has nothing to do with gang and .gansters Instead, “The Murder Man,” is a star reporter of a powerful New York daily newspaper, who won his name through his ability to solve crimes that baffled police. The part is played by Spencer Tracey. Miss Bruce plays the part of the paper’s ‘Sob Sister,” who is adept at giving advice to the lovelorn through her columns, but can’t control her own heart when it comes to Tracy She loves him. He, imbittered by a tragedy that has wrecked his home, is tolerantly fond of her. A mysterious crime shocks the city. Tracy swings into action for his paper. Through his alert detective work he is not only able to give his paper the “scoop”, but give the police clues that lead to the arrest and conviction of the alleged murderer. And then, at the heighth of new success, Tracy suddenly amazes the police by tearing down the very story which had sent the alleged murderer to the brink of the gallows. The second picture on the dual program ( entitled “After the Dance,” is a Columbia production starring Nancy Carroll and George Murphy. Jack LaRue, Arthur Hohl, and Thelma Todd are in the supporting cast of the new song and dance film. A new cartoon filmed in technicolor called “Chinese Nightingale,” and Edwin C. Hill in Hearst Metrotone News, complete the program.

Dick Pow r ell, claimed by Indianapolis as her very own, comes to the screen of the Apollo Theatre today in Warner Brothers’ latest musical comedy romance, “Broadway Gondolier.” Playing opposite him in the romantic lead is Joan Blondell. In this respect the new film reunites the popular stars of “Gold Diggers of 1933.” Other members of the cast supporting Powell and Miss Blondell are Louise Fazenda, Adolph Menjou, Hobart Cavanaugh, George Barbier William Gargan and June Travis Other features appearing in the picture, better known for their stage and radio work are the Four Mills Brothers, Ted Fio Rita and his celebrated orchestra and the Canova Family. The story of “Broadway Gondolier,” centers about Dick Powell in the role of a New York taxicab driver, who aspires to be a singer. He has a remarkable voice and is tutored by Adolph Menjou, a broken down and impoverished Italian singer and aristocrat. By chance he is given an audition by one of the principal radio chains j mostly due to the efforts of a secretary, played by Miss Blondell, who has fallen in love with the handsome singing prospect. When the time for the audition arrives, Dick does not show up, and his tutor takes his place and finds that his erstwhile sweet tenor voice has cracked and Dick loses out. He winds up in Italy as a gondolier. Fate brings him back to America as a great success in one of the strangest climaxes to reach the screen in many a day. Songs interspersed throughout the film were written by A1 Dubin and Harry Warren and include “A Rose In Her Hair,” “Lonely Gondolier,” “Outside of You,” “Lulu’s Back in Town” and “You Can Be Kissed.” Lloyd Bacon directed, the screenplay by Sig Herzig. Especially selected short subjects round out the program.
