DENVER^ PENVER STANLEY^ PITT NEW ACTS Sr^Se^r he ild humbj^rsgike. ^Old S^iU Stream' and^Apple Tree' .are unrecognizable because of the screaming brass. Attractively set on the, stage, Lunceford's orchestra looks impres- t^ve and could plav any •vaudflTmer, Lunceford acquits himself creditably, leading "the^ .band and. announciriff >-a?mmiber8.; He came.s^a vocalist, Daii Driscoll, who sings the rerrains of-various humbers featured^ include fnV'Dowri by the Old Mil S •Star Dust' and a. comparatively re- cent pop. rA trio from . the . band also doubles vocally. The singing is surefire all the way.^ Ted fiuckher ( and Joseph Young, from the :bandi ' also do specialties, beiiTg featured in . .so'bs of we-clever 'Margie' ai range- 'insiit- '. ■ ; ■ ■ ■ ; J stiiarland Martin^flrst-mentioned wn« for years half, of the Stuart and Lash . domblnatidri—are on .ahead pf the Liinceford orchestra,.' d b i n g a'-ound ■ 16 minutes of comedy and s ngihg. iThey re fiist-rate and get aeioss slrorigly. The ukulele por- tions, done legit, stsnd out while the clowning built around' the radio cHaracter. the Shadbw. sells particur larly iwell. The version- of . Benny Goodman's swing of -Ole Man River' ' and'the pop: arrsingement closing are among the meatier , parts. ■ Dblly .Kay is spotted > second and clicks. Equipped with a , good, clear . blues voice, she sells in ai-very show r ' niahlike manner. Her 'Bei Mir' Bi.st du- Schoeh' as part of 'Joseph, Jo seph,' which she helped popularize, is a closer that does the trick. Hbw ; ever, 'BeL Mir,' done ifi Yiddish, is . stretched' a bit too much. Among Miss Kay's, numbers is 'Alexander's Ra^lme Bandj' ^uiig- in mbderiv swing.. Opener is the Nej.ss Trbupe, a 'fly- . Ing trampbline act of merit. Some . ol'^it. is repetitibiis but' the act runs only six minutes arid gbes to a. good .finish, .with one- of the 'boys doing a flock of flipflops oh. the tr;impbline canvas for an "effective getaway. Char. Embei8«y Newireel, N. V. Although it boasts ho spectacular' sUorts, this week's bilj is well above average due to' a wealtli :of timely subjects ar^d action scenes. 'Stahd- out are Paramount reels from Dublin and Paris, riishcd across the Atlantic by a Ipick-a-back plane and flashed on the Screen at 10:40 Thursday night. (21) just a few hours after the landing. ,:: ' _ Nothing partlciiiaily notable in the Corrigan shots from Dublin.

Most arresting subject is the other piane-imported reel, containing shots Of Kin^ George VI and Queen ?liza- Deth of England being greeted by crowds on their' arrival in Parts. Like the Dublin film, it isn't the "."'fa treatment that arouses inlcv- esl but the sound track.again.
