travagant but in excellent taste. and
rather above all, the most varied
and spirited dancing any one has
seen since Astaire's last movie.
There is also the customary story
but since 1t is small, tenuous thing
that never gets in the way, it is
nothing to bother your head about.
In returning to take the publics
mind of politics and prices, Astaire's
latest picture makes it impossible
that there should be any more OF this
absurd talk of his retirement. II he

M-G-M has made gay festival
of the musical at the Palace,
mighty celebration in honor OF the
combined talents OF Astalre ana
Berlin. 1t has shot one of the
cinema's most impressive bank &C
counts on a party it would be hard
not to enjoy. In doing so, it has
had the further bright idea of re-
deeming Miss Miller from that rldlc-
ulous oblivion into which the movies
are always permitting her to DRIFT.
If this ever happens again, after
Miss Miller's dancing in Easter Pa
rade," the movies should be forced
to hire a whole new set of casting
directors.
Miss Garland is one of the most
show-wise girls in Hollywood but
Miss Miller provides her with the
stiffest competition Judy has
known since she fought 1t out with
Mickey Rooney when she, at least,
was growing up.
There is never any doubt that
"Easter Parade" is an Astalre-
Berlin picture. This is settled once
and for all In the opening sequence,
a debonair solo entrance by the
dancer to the words and music OF
q blithe and sentimental new Berlin
number called Happy Easter
Astaire came up with neat and
simple theme for his first dance,
namely an Easter shopping expedl-
ton for his sweetheart which winds
up with situation in which he
must outwit a lad of about eight
who wants to buy the same rabbit,
the last in the store. 1t Is about
as charmingly imagined as anything
could be, sets the pictures mood
perfectly, and could not fit more
snugly into the cavalcade OF sweet
music composed by Berlin.
The story which carries things
along from there is the work Of
Frances Goodrich and Albert Hack
EFT. It's solitary virtue is its lack
Of pretense that 1t is more than
an excuse to keep things moving.
It's four characters are Astaire and
Miss Miller, dance team breaking
up because she is ambitious; Miss
Garland as the girl who takes over
when Miss Miller leaves. and Peter
Lawford as the rich young man who
is always around to take whichever
girl Astaire does not want.
These are all pleasant people. al
though Miss Miller has her bad
moments, and they are so busy
rushing from song to song and
dance to dance that they have no
time to act.
The accent naturally is on dane

Fire reDestroys Wien Hangar; Planes At Fairbanks

FAIRBANKS (P)-Fire destroy ed the main hangar of the Wien Aleska Airlines at the municipal airport along with two airplanes late Wednesday. Estimates of loss ranged up to $200,000.
 Lost in the fire were a four place Cessna and an eight-place Norseman, stockroom supplies, a machine shop, engine overhauling depot and freight and waiting rooms.
 A Daouvtas DC-3 airliner parked near the hangar was hastily lowed to safety and one light plane was pulled from the hangar before it was enveloped in flames.
 As the 75-by-2O0-foot hangar went up in flames, fire depart ments from the city and from Ladd Air Force base kept it from spreading to the adjoining hangars of the Alaska Airlines and the Northern Commercial company.
 Officials said an exploding fire pot in a nearby nose hangar"-a hangar which can accommodate only the nose of a plane-Was re- sponsible for the fire. The firepot was being used in cleaning engine parts. ....
 Fuels and lubricants stored in and near the hangar sent flames and smoke billowing high into the air, drawing hundreds to the air port runway.

Sen. Morse Blames Both Sides For Not Settling Strikes

 The former Pacific Coast labor arbitor devoted most of his ad- dress to foreign affairs, but wound up with a critical attack on both the strikers and employers in the two major Pacific Coast disputes.
 'I know something about the contract" Morse said. There is no sounder provi- sion for arbitration in any labor contract than there is in this one. Why don't they use this provision and end the striker"
 Morse said there is no issue in either strike that cannot be set tied by arbitration, if political as poets" of the dispute are removed. The Senator did not explain his reference to politics in the strikes.
