T ST ESTHER WILLIAMS IN FEATURE BILL NOW AT CAPITOL Metro-Goldwyn-M: r has team- ed Van Johnson (that loving man) : SHOWPLALE oF Now! JUNEAU’S Biggest Thrill sasssseTsy w TEC'p‘IIV/COMR!l unead | | | and Esther "Williams (the sweet- m“l:l;: heart of “Bathing Beauty”) in an REA eye-filling, tuneful Technicolor treat titled “Thrill of a Romance” which is delighting audiences at the Capitol Theatre. The new film, by any standards, must be rated with the year’s most entertaining film offerings, in the tradition of the same company's highly successful “Music for Mil- lions” and “Two Girls and a Sail- or.” Supporting Van and Esther is & superb cast. Lauritz Melchoir, the famed Metropolitan Opera tenor, makes his film cebut a most aus. picious one as the singer who plays Cupid to the stars. He is indeed in glorious voice with such songs as “I Love You,” ‘“Because” and Schubert’s “Serenade” among his renditions. Carleton Young, as the business man who lets a “big deal” interfere with his honeymoon with Esther; Frances Gifford as the spoiled, rich daughter of a big shot financier; and Henry Travers and Spring. By- ington, as Esther's screwball uncle and aunt, all contribute delightfully to the hilarious proceedings. And Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra provide grand music, both sweet and hot, to satisfy one and all. e GIRL FOR WORKMANS Mr. and Mrs. Howard Workman yesterday became the parents of a baby girl, weighing 9'¢ pounds, in St. Ann’s 'Hospital.
