Technicolor musical has been gar- {nered for this suave film adaption 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 vi- vacious Judy Garland and fleet- footed Gene Kelly, who top every- thing they have ever done before in their respective roles of the ro- mantic Manuela and the hypnotic Serafin. There are color, trigger-quick |drama, laughter and song in every, |episode of “The Pirate,” as it un- | folds its imaginative tale of Ma uela, dreaming of the legendary pirate Macoco, but on the verge of | ymxmymg the rich but old and| ‘pnunchy Don Pedro. Overnight her ' |life changes as she meets the dash- | ing Mounteback Serafin who con-‘ Jjures her into believing he is the| bold piraté of her dreams and ulti- | mately risks his life in order to! iprove his love. f | The Cole Porter songs blend‘ smoothly into the plot development and the composer has given several numbers that will be sung for| imonths, Outstanding are “Love of | My Life,” and “You Can Do No| Wrong,” another haunting refrain, | “Mack the Black,” with its strange | tempo, “Nina,” “Be a Clown,” and | the dashing “Pirate Ballet.” | 11 ARRIVE, 55 LEAVE VIA PAN AM MONDAY Sixty-six persons flew in and out| |of Juneau yesterday on Pan Ameri- | can World Airways.
