THE CIVIC THEATRE “NO, NO, NANETTE” The screen production of “No, No, Nanette,” which opens at the Civic Theatre on Wednesday afternoon and evening, and also on Thursday evening, will contain song hits from the original stage siiow as well as many new numbers which have already attained great popularity since th) recent release of this colourful First National picture. “Tea For Two” and “I Want To Be Happy,” from the footlight p oduction, will be heard in the Vitaphone edition, sung bv a chorus of 150 and the two featured leads, Berni Clairo and Alexander Gray. The big number of the picture, however, is “King of the Air,” bv Eddie Ward and Al Bryan, one of Hollywood’s most harmonious songwriting teams. “No, No, Nanette” is one of the most lavish pictures ever produced at the First National Studios. Four of the big sequences—the Holland. Japan, New York, and Mars episodes—each cost more than the entire original stage production.
