ACADEMY THEATRE

CURRENT PROGRAMMES Miami, the glamour city of the Southern States, with; its swaying palms, gleaming-white beaches, and incredibly blue lagoons, provides the background for the music, laughter and romance of the year’s most elaborate Technicolour musical. Appropriately titled “Moon Over Miami,” the - 20th Century-Fox hit teams Don Ameehe and Betty Grablc for the second time. The romantic duo of “'Down Argentine Way” shares top-featured billing with Robert Cummings. To be shown at the Academy Theatre to-night, to-mor-row and on Wednesday, “Moon Over Miami” is the gay, tune-filled tale of two sisters, Betty Grable and Carole. Landis, and their aunt Charlotte Greenwood, who invest their 5,000dollar inheritance in the hope of realising big dividends. It is an original sort of investment—a holiday fling complete with expensive clothes and a luxurious suite at a Miami Beach hotel. The expected dividends —a millionaire husband for Betty.' Not only does “Moon Over Miami” boast of a star-studded cast which includes Jack Haley and Cobina Wright, junr., but there are in addition eight hit tunes by master tunesmiths Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger.
