GARLAND, KELLY
 IN BIG MUSICAL
 AT 10TH CENTURY

"The Pirate" starring Judy Gar land, and Gene Kelly on the screen tonight at the Gross 20th Century, is sumptuously mounted, beauti- fully cast, unsteady inspired mo- tion picture.
 Every ingredient of perfect Technicolor musical has been gar nered for this suave film adoption of s. N. Behrman's play, which was one of Broadway's greatest suc- cesses. It tells the story of a lovelorn girl who dreams of being swept off her feet by a bold pirate who finds her hero in a debonair strolling player.
 Its locale is the languorous and exotic Caribbean. Its tunes, written by Cole Porter, form wondrous components for the dazzling acting, singing and dancing talents of vii vacious Judy Garland and fleet footed Gene Kelly. who top every thing they have ever done before in their respective roles of the TO- mantle Manuela and the hypnotic Serafin.
 There are color, trigger-quick drama, laughter and song in every, episode of The Pirate" as it un- folds it's imaginative tale of Man uela, dreaming of the legendary pirate Macoco. but on the verge of marrying the rich but old and paunchy Don Pedro. Overnight her life changes as she meets the dash ing Mounteback Serafin who con- jures her into believing he is the bold pirate of her dreams and ulti- mately risks his life in order to prove his love.
 The Cole Porter songs blend smoothly into the plot development and the composer has given several numbers that will be sung for months. Outstanding are Love of My Life" and You Can Do No Wrong" another haunting refrain, Mack the Black" with its strange tempo. Nina" Be Clown" and the dashing Pirate Ballet"
