COMICALFANTASY
 FULL OF LAUGHS
Fred MacMurray in Zany Film at LOeW's=POli
 Theater

Currently playing at the Loew- Poli theater is the big, the new, the delightfully."- different miracle music al Where Do We Go From Here?" The picture, starring Fred MacMur- ray, Joan Leslie and June Haver, and photographed in dazzling Tech nicolor, is being acclaimed as the lyrical miracle of the year, and it's certainly something out-of-this- world as anything that has ever come out of Hollywood.
 The hilarious, melody packed film tells of the gloriously zany adven- lures of Fred MacMurray on a cross-century girl hunt, chasing two 1945 cuties-joyous Joan Leslie and luscious June Haver-from a Bronx USO Canteen through Valley Forge to the discovery of Columbus in 1942, and then some.-
 It all starts when Fred, 8 frus- trated and frantic AZ, meets an honest-to-goodness but altogether erractic genie who promises with the aid of his magic lamp to get Fred into the Army and subsequent ly into the good graces of his khaki-whacky girl friend. What happens when the magic gimmick goes berserk, gets its dates mixed and sends Fred jiving with George Washington at Valley Forge and in dutch" with New Amsterdamsel- to say nothing of a musical mutiny aboard Christopher Columbus 'San- ta Maria and dozens of other side splitting episodes-makes for g joyously fun-filled and song-spark- ling picture.
 Long a top favoYite in film music als, Fred MacMurray marks this, as his best performance of his long career. Lovely Joan Leslie is seen as the girl who was always in love with MacMurray while he was in love with flirtatious June Haver. To Where Do We Go From Here?" Miss Haver brings all the charm, beauty, zest and buoyant singing
