THE CIVIC THEATRE “ROBERTA” “Roberta,” stage hit, yea/ ? musician hit. 'The year’s gayest and most colourful musical romance comes to the screen when Irene Dunne, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers open in RKORadio’s film version of the Broadway hit, “Roberta.” Melody and dance numbers and the lavish fashion displays all are woven logically into a fast-moving, thoroughly plausible story which combines tender romance with gay comedy. Love interest centres about Miss Dunne and Randolph Scott, although there is more than a suggestion of romance in the battle of wits between Astaire and Miss Rogers and their teaming of danve wizardry. The story resoives about the coniedv-rich situation of an All-American football player falling heir to a fashionable laris gown shop. The hero and hi® band-leader pal set the world of fashion agog, the hearts of the Mademoiselles atwitter, and the feet of the Parisians aflame during tie course of their hectic adventures. “Boberta” will ne finally screened at the Civic Theatre this evening.
