Transcript:

PAVILION, SELSEY. On Monday, "THE TURNERS OF PROSPECT ROAD" is presented starring Wilfrid Lawson and Maureen Glynne also "THE ROYAL WEDDING" in colour and described by Anna Neagle. For the many people who enjoy music, comedy, spectacle and romance as film fare—and there aren't many who don't—Republic's scintillating new comedy-drama "HATS OFF TO RHYTHM," which opens on Thursday, promises to provide them with a delightful afternoon or evening's entertainment. The light-hearted story tells of a young composer who finds it more profitable to write musical rhymes for radio than to devote his talents to writing would-be "popular" songs. Through the machinations of his lovely secretary and fiancee, he becomes - unwillingly- successful in this field, while she, equally without intent, becomes the singing star in Earl Carroll's spectacular stage show. William Marshall and Constance Moore, as the song-write and secretary, respectively, are delightful. Johnny Coy, a sensational young man who was acclaimed "The Most Outstanding Screen Dancer of the Year", performs a very effective "mystery" dance routine and comedy- almost a tradition in musical pictures- is supplied by Vera Vague and Edward Everett Horton in their own inimitable manner.
