title of the piece, “One Heavenly
Night,” aptly describes their enjoy-
ment of glorious singing by Evelyn
Laye, John Boles, and at times, by
the entire cast. In no sense a comic
opera, “One Heavenly Night” provid-
es tuneful music throughout, and tho
essentially modern, there is a variety
of costuming that lends color and
brightness to the atmospheric set-
ting's.
The story deals with the desire of
Lilli, a poor flower girl to have the
joy, freedom and gifts that are lav-
ished upon her idol, Fritzi, a cabaret
singer of scandalous reputation. Frit-
zi at last oversteps her mark, and is
banished by the police for six months,

The great Paris designer has turned out another creation. A model of
good taste! But good taste is no less desirable in a cigarette. What you taste
in Chesterfield is milder and better tobaccos—nothing else—in a blend and
cross-blend that cannot be copied! Just as there is only one Paris... there is
only one Chesterfield.
For NINETEEN years, our Research Department has
kept intimate touch with every new development of Science
that could be applied to the manufacture of cigarettes.
During this period there has been no development of tested
value or importance to the smoker which we have not
incorporated into the making of Chesterfield cigarettes.
