Dozen pianos are on a giant circular revolving . stage and playing a tune. From up high, center, leads a grand double staircase to both sides of the stage and onto the platform formed by the revolving pianists. From this ♦ roup© the girls, ballet, glee club, etc., to pose all over the place and dance atop the pianos. A going -away picture that will lin ger for flntch, splash, hash and dash.

It's all Dick Powell this week, and rightly so. One of movie star's three weeks of eastern personal ap- pearances on a leave from WB studio—other two are in Washing- ton and Phjlly—Stanley engage- ment is a natural. It was here that Powell was serving as m.c. more than two years ago when Rufe L<e- Maire picked hinri for crooner's role in /Blessed Bvent.' that waa hie screen start. Since then, he's achieved staidom through 18 pic- tures in 24 monith« riaing to the top on the heels ef the musical iplurge. Everything played down here to Powell, which is Just as it should be, for the whole affair's more in the nature of a homecoming. What makes it more so Is the fact that, aside from an occasional name act last season, it marks the resumption of stage shows here fur the first time since the forafief m^e.* laft h«ire in June, 1932. Thunderous ovation especially when the home-town mob, always looking for the, high hat when any- body gets places thought they saw that he was free from delusions of grandeur. Reception left Powell slightly Inarticulate and after tn- ing to thank, the erowd, hf itent into a series of hit aoiigs froieh; hla screen tiivslcaM, locfclnf -eiii iHMiie tifliia after llane. He . opened . boUd ahd'- ekMNtd :iM\::mmi:^:;i^^ '/'(rtiok front'-8taW-:to.: liniali;^^-^;.':^;" . ■ These personal appearances are a cinch for . Powell since he's not the ordinary movie star sliunmlng on nerve. He was an entertainer be- fore he hit Hollywood and he's for- gotten nothing, learned still a lot more. The result make.e it a push- over for him. He works at the close of the show in one, doing a /lumber of tune s on his own and later obliging with any ''ttllllm^::.0t: audience re<iuests. Show surrounding Powell opens with smart routine by Albertina Rasch troupe, same gang she's had on the coast for M-G-M all sum- mer.
