On May 19, the film, Sing, You Sinners will be shown. The movie stars Bing Crosby in this Damon Runyonesque story of three brothers looking for that elusive big break as a musical combo. Crosby is the deadbeat brother always looking for that fast buck, while Fred MacMurray toils as an auto mechanic and Donald O'Connor is too young to work. Crosby leaves for Los Angeles and brags to his family about his new found success in business. Of course, they join him and find out that he is broke and has invested everything into a race horse.
On May 26, Broadway Melody of 1936 will be shown;. Jack Benny plays an odious gossip columnist who threatens to reveal the truth about the producer Robert Taylor's relationship to the star of his new Broadway show. Eleanor Powell explodes on the screen as Taylor's ex-girlfriend from his hometown looking for her show biz break. This box office hit has it all --- great dancing, wonderful music, snappy dialogue. Also starring are Buddy
Ebsen, Una Merkel and Sid Silvers.
