TICKETS ONE DOLLAR NOW ON SALE
Fashions in film entertain- ment vary from year to year, and now it appears that, big, lovish musical revues are again coming back into favour. Twen- tieth Century-Fox, a studio that has often taken the lead in set- ting these trends, has scored. again with "Down Argentine Way," the success of which has already sent other producers revue-minded.
The film, which commenced
its local run at the King's Theatro yesterday, may, without exaggeration, be said to be the best musical show that has como our way since the revival of this type of entertainment.
Mounted in gorgeous techni- colour, with spectacular settings and dazzling costuming, it pre- sents a unique array of revue talent. Seldom are 80 many really good top-notch headline stars assembled in any one ple ture. The result justifies all claims advanced for it.
★ ☆
The story is slight-but this particular aspect is never impor. tant in musical productions. The tale that links the action and incidents in "Down Argentino Way" concerns the difficulties that beset the efforts of Dan Ameche, son of a South Ameri- can horse breeder, to sell a string of blue riband animals to a New York family. The obstacle takés the form of a family feud.
HOLLYWOOD NEWSREE Betty Grable, as the rich New
York girl whose hobby is collect- ing prize-winners of the turf, follows Ameche back to the
singular honour on January "Blood and Sand", which will stor Argentine in her cagerness to
work on Hollywood "Billy and Kid,"
secure the horses. Romance develops.
Against this threadbare plot woven a veritable pageant of song, dances, comedy and spec- tacle, presented with expert showmanship and enthusiastic collaboration from the cast.
