"Let's Dance" At
Hamilton Sunday
Roasting the exciting talents of
Betty Hutton and Fred Astaire,
Paramount's tuneful romantic
remedy "Let's Dance" arrives
Sunday at the Hamilton Theatre.
Hailed as the year's top musical,
with a hit-packed score bvFrank
Loesser, the picture is in color by
Technicolor and features Roland
Young, Ruth Warrick. Lucile Wat
son and six-yeaixdd Gregory Mof
fett in his screen debut.
Set against a colorful show bus
iness background, 'Let's Dance"
is the sprightly-paced story of an
irrepressible hoofer, played by
Astaire, whose ambition is to put
away his dancing shoes and tic
come a successful business man.
This leads to a split with his bom
bastic partner. Betty Hutton, and
a full cycle of laughs, tears, tunes
and terpsichory before the two
are reunited.
It's difficult to imagine anyone
outdoing perfection, but according
to advance reports Fred Astaire
surpasses even his greatest per
formances with seven spectacular
dance routines.
Betty Hutton shares the spot
light with him, and for the first
time on the screen demonstrate
her hitherto unsuspected ability as
a top-flight dancer.
In composing the entire musical
score for "Let's Dance.” Frank
Loesser wrote six new songs in
cluding the already popular "Wh\
Fight the Feeling." "Oh Then
Dudes." "Can’t Stop Talking,'
“Tunnel of Love," The Hyacinth'
and "Jack and the Beanstalk '
