I'm a theatre manager, and each year | play a great many fine pictures, but I'm parLticularly proud to present M-G-M’s unusual Technié¢olor musical ‘Words and Music’.

_ Atits gala premiere in New York, ‘Words and Music” delighted audiences with its 22 Bs

_~ Rodgers and. Hart songs, and a love story | Nos

as thrilling as the words, a romance as unEa

forgettable as the music! It really takes a : look at the lives of those young, gay and gifted songwriters, Rodgers and Hart.

OO

And it brings you spectacular entertainment with such stars as June Allyson, Perry Como, Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Géne Kelly, Mickey Rooney and Ann Sothern. Also Tom Drake, Cyd Charisse, Betty Garrett, Janet Leigh, Marshall Thompson, Mel Torme and Vera-Ellen! Fourteen stars in all!

And the roster of Rodgers and Hart songs includes such’ favorites as ‘With A Song In My Heart’, ‘Blue Moon’, ‘Where Or When’ and ‘The-Lady Is A Tramp’.

I urge you not to miss this wonderful M-G-M musical!
