songs with her which evens the
score.
The best dance they do as q
team is comedy number set on
ship board and it happens that
the ship is involved at the time
with some pretty rough seas. Any
missteps resulting are obviously
the fault Of nature and are the
funnier for being accepted on
this basis.
Miss Powell has grown up suf-
|flciently not only to play sister to
Astaire but also to suggest that
her voice has reached a pleasant
maturity. The songs she sings,
five in number and mostly dedi-
Gated to a movie princess gentle
|amours. are satisfyingly what they
are meant to be. The best of
these is a tune called 1.-THE Hap
piest Day of My Life" but it
might just be that others will
prefer "Open Your Eyes" or "Too
Late Now"
They contain no surprises,
|melodically or lyrically.
Any novelty in the score is re-
served for a duet number with
Astaire called How Could You
Believe Me (KnoWing What A
Liar I AMI"
The comedy department of
Royal Wedding" is left largely
to the talents of Keenan, Wynn
who plays twin brothers, one a
hard boiled American theatrical
agent and the other q fawncy
English version of the same type.
Albert Sharpe and Viola Roche
also contribute slightly to the note
of frivolity in Royal Wedding" ="
Its heart clearly is striving to
be kind.
Comedian Bob Williams is the
headliner Of this weeks stage
bill at the Capitol and he is con-
siderably less tineworn than a
number Of his colleagues in the
funny business. Susan and Fred
Barry provide an expertly sup
dance act. Wells and
the Four Fays take care of the
novelty department, and Ben Yost's
Vikings provide the necessary
vocal ingredient OF a well bal
anced bill.

near that 1t would be unreaSon-
akle to ask also that it make sense.
81 little sound makes sense these
days, including much that origi-
mates right here.
SIN its favor is the fact that the
Gapitol's musical makes no pre-
tense to be anything but what it
Ii cake the company baked in
the hope that you were coming.
ssItS best single ingredient is q
solo dance by the inimitable
Astaire. Long ago he should have
run out of inspiration but Royal
Wedding" proves this is not so.
Newest Of his works is a combina-
tion Of acrobatics and tap in
which he appears to be dancing
up and down walls and across
ceilings as if M-G-M had just
had the law Of gravity repealed.
This naturally is the result of
camera trickery. but it is so art-
full that at least one customer was
diverted from the dance figuring
out just how the camera angles
and set construction were worked
out.
The simpering little story that
one has come to expect provides
the mild momentum upon which
"Royal Wedding" runs. It is the
work of Alan Jay Lerner who also
wrote the lyrics and he could
hardly have spent more than a
few hours on it.
The parts provided for Astaire
and Miss Powell are those Of a
brother and sister team (it al
most came out brother and "sin-
lister" team on this typewriter) in
Broadway musical comedy. They
are closing a two-season hit when
England's royal wedding is ap-
preaching and. conveniently
enough, they are invited to bring
1t to London.
On the way there, Miss Powell
meets Peter Lawford a nobel Eng
lish playboy. After arrival, Astaire
runs into Sarah Churchill-play-
ing a showgirl, not herself. This
takes care of the emotional ad-
ventures needed for any musical,
but few Technicolored shots of
the real royal wedding are tossed
in to give the title meaning.
4 X 4 \
Whatever lack Of generosity In
plot this suggests, it is balanced
somewhat by the singing and dane
ing specialities offered by the
principals. Miss Powell is not
the most gifted partner Astaire
ever met but she is a willing young
ster. She dances couple Of times
with him and he sings two or three
