Opera House

Now Showing: "You'll Never Get Rich.” “YOU’LL NEVER GET RICH” The much-discussed, long-awaited new Fred Astaire musical “You’ll Never Get Rich,” now showing at the Opera House. Hailed as the most spectacular musical extravaganza ever filmed in Hollywood. It brims over with laughter and gaiety and lovely girls against the background of Cole Porter’s tuneful new lyrics. And it provides the nimble-footed Fred Astaire with the best partner he’s ever had—the beautiful, vivacious, much publicised Miss Rita Hayworth. Rita’s position as Astaire’s dancing and romancing partner has been called, by both critics- and fans, as an example of plain, commonsense, albeit “inspired” casting. Supporting the ■ principals in “You’ll Never Get Rich”, whch has a delightful and topical story, are such prominent screen personalities as Robert Benchley, J'ohn Hubbard, Frieda Inescort, Osa Massen and a host of other comedy and character players. As well, there is a dazzling chorus of ninety-eight beauties, hand picked by Bob Alton himself, famous dance director of the film. Porter’s tunes, written exclusively for the film of course, will set the whole country whistling and humming. They include “So Near and Yet So Far,” “Dream Dancing,” “Since I Kissed My Baby Good-bye,” “The Wedding Cake Walk,” “Shootin’ in the Works for Uncle Sam” and “The Boogie Barcarolle.”
