THE CIVIC THEATRE. “NO, NO, NANETTE.” “No, No, Nanette,” tho scintillating First National comedy picture filmed partly in colour, opened yesterday for two nights at the Civic "Theatre, and will be finally screened this evening. This exceptionally lavish production was received with enthusiasm by yesterday’s audience which seemed to enjoy every minute of it. Even in this day when picture-goers arc accustomed to the spectacular and tho beautiful, there were more than a few “oil’s” and “ah’s” heard around tho theatre as the gorgeous technicolour scenes were unfolded But tho story is by no means slighted. It is about a good wife who would not spend her millionaire husband’s income. So ho let other women spend it instead—all in a nice and welt intentioned spirit. Ono of his outlets for surplus cash was to finance a musical show written by the sweetheart of his best friend’s daughter.
