Busby Berkeley was its high priest. Beautiful girls by the trainload were its hallmark and their all-star casts, sometimes running as many as 20, were their distinctive badges of Bigness. Supporting casts generally ran into the hundreds, their production costs ran well into the millions and some of the music especially written for them has long since entered the honored repertoire of America’s most beloved melodies. Delving deep into the vaults which hold yesterday’s film treasures, United Artists, an entertainment service of Transamerica Corporation, have come up with two of the most popular and characteristic of the great musical spectaculars. They are “Gold Diggers of 1935” and “Footlight Parade,” and both are on the joint bill to be offered beginning. ................ by threvcae aeons Theatre. Both are from the master Berkeley. Their combined casts boast of some of the all-time greats of the screen — James Cagney, Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, Adolphe Menjou, Glenda Far Still GD-Art 1 Ah, those incomparable Busby Berkeley Girls . . . rell, Hugh Herbert, Guy Kibbee, Frank McHugh, Alice Brady, Gloria Stuart and Winifred Shaw and if you don’t know who they were, ask Dad; he knows. Music and lyrics for both are from Harry Warren and Al Dubin and include such still frequently heard old time hits as “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Honeymoon Hotel” and “Shanghai Lil.” The famous “Ballad of the Baby Grands” in which something like a hundred planos—yes, pianos—go through a choral dance routine and which is still often mentioned with awe by motion picture students, is “only one of the four stunning spectacles,’ as a yellowing ad of 1935 boasts, of “Gold Diggers of 1935.” There are also a hundred and one—count ’em—a hundred and one ravishing beauties who play the “gold diggers” in this opus, and if you don’t know what a gold digger is or was, ask Dad again. There are, however, a mere 74 such beauties in “Footlight Parade.” Mat 2A . they can be seen again (and by those under 30, for the first time) in the double feature revival “Gold Diggers of 1935” and “Footlight Parade,” which will start showing ee Sanne at the ............
