Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 6, 1946, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press Friday december 6, 1946 pages with Frank. Centennial summer Jerome Kern s Lovely songs for Centennial summer Are so Sud merged in a sea of technicolor nostalgia that they Only Bob to the surface spasmodically. And for that reason the movie which opened at the Capitol theatre thurs Day is a disappointment. Those who Don t want the Kern tunes however and will Settle for a Light conventional production lavishly produced will be satisfied. The Story has to do with Philadel phia in the year of 1876 when the Centennial exposition was the big event. It dwells lightly and politely with a family of the period and the things amusing and grave that happen to them. His last score but since this to my knowledge the last score that Kern wrote the flame american floor show every night at dinner at dancing at 9 conventions staff parties weddings banquets and organization wind ups for reservations phone 56 826 new year St make your reservation watch for the Neon sign we arc closed on sundays for the Winter months.

Tonight Alex Buxman and his orchestra formerly of the old fort the Normandy dancing every night before his recent death 1 was pre pared for a movie that would give them a Good Deal of prominence. However Otto Preminger who has produced and directed the film has undertaken to weave the songs into the plot fabric. What he has wanted and what he has succeeded in Doin is to keep them from halting the flow of the Story. But instead of being part of that plot fabric Cornel Wilde they should have sparkled As jewels on the material. The result is that such attractive numbers As All through the Day up with the Lark in love in vain the right Romance and others get Little Chance to impress them selves on your consciousness. A smooth Job however there is no denying that Preminger has done a smooth Job in handling his Story and it bears a very close resemblance to meet me in St. Louis and other pictures of that Type. There is a Large and important cast including Cornel Wilde. Jeanne Crain Linda Dar Nell William Eythe Constance Ben Nett Walter Brennan and Dorothy Gish. They Are All pleasant to watch and the ladies May get a great Deal of satisfaction out of or. Wilde s impersonation of a Charles Boyer Type. Both want him or. Wilde is the chief cause of dissension in the Philadelphia fam ily which the plot concerns. Hear Rives in the City on the same train that brings Back an expatriate aunt Constance both miss Crain and miss Darnell decide to appropriate him much to the disgust a Young doctor William Eythe who has been unofficially engaged to Linda. The father Wal ter gets into difficulty with his Job through his preoccupation with the invention of a new kind of clock and miss Bennett decides to smooth things Over there. That will give you an idea of the plot and you need not be told that it works itself out very much to the satisfaction of All concerned. But not and j hate to Harp about it to the satisfaction of those who want to hear a Jerome Kern score. The technicolor investiture is very lavish and the scenes in and about the Centennial exposition Are la Vish and very Beautiful. So take your do you want to do see a Light plot unfold or hear a musical score in capsule Sutton who bowed out of 20th Century Fox because he wanted to do More heavy roles is in with a new con tract he will be the villain in Captain from Castille my was t the language flying at Warners Lasi week Ida Lupino sat Down on an old Cook stove on the deep Valley set.
