ASTAIRE: lDance Master Can't Lose When Winning Means Losing Ginger Rogers “Lucky in love, unlucky at cards” *5 an adage that works backward ias far as Fred Astaire is concerned this new RKO Radio filmusical in which the nim- !in “Swing Time,” \ble star is again teamed with Gin- ger Rogers at the Capitol Theatre. Engaged to a girl, Betty Furness, ‘whcm he feels he has to marry as {soon as he makes §25,000, and anx- musu looking for some way out of the engagement so he can marry Miss Rogers instead, Astaire finds his romantic problems, muiltiplying as a result of his sheer inability to lose at the gaming table. | This situation leads to many of .the gay and uproariously funny |moments of the tuneful offering, iand it is further complicated by the fardent efforts of Georges Metaxa as a conceited orchestra leader to marry Miss Rogers, and by the side splitting interference of a new com- edy team, Victor Moore and Helen Broderick, who toss plenty of un- intentional obstacles in the path of the two stars. Jerome Kern's delightful musical offerings, the new and sensational “The Waltz in Swing Time" danced by Astaire and Miss Rogers, and a spectacular “Bojangles of Harlem” solo number by Astaire in black- face, are among the many features of this Pandro S. Berman produc- tion, which was directed by George Stevens.
