DUCHESS THEATRE

Marking their eighth co-starring appearance in a musical film, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers again prove themselves America’s No. 1 dancing favourites in their latest vehicle “The story of Vernon and Irene Castle," screening to-night at the Duchess Theatre. The fascinating story is a tale of the perseverance of two people who had faith in each other. It is, too, the story of a boy and a girt who made the world dance conscious, who set the tempo for to-day’s modern dances. Such matchless melodies of yesterday, "By the Light of The Silvery Moon,” “Waiting For The Robert E. Lee” and the ‘Castle Walk,” in addition to a score ofother old-time lilting songs, provide the musical background for the film’s action.
