ROOSEVELT THEATRE
"TOP HAT” COMES TO
THE ROOSEVELT THURS
DAY AND FRIDAY
“Top Hat,” that wonderful film
production starring Fred Astair and
Ginger Rogers, who match their
nimble feet to musical rhythms writ
ten by Irving Berlin, will be shown
at the Roosevelt Thursday and Fri
day. Those who saw these movie
stars in “P’lying Down to Rio,” “Ro
berta” and “The Gay Divorcee,” will
be even more charmed by their per
formance in “Top Hat.” Nobody
equals this pair on the dancing stage.
Fred Astair, Ginger Rogers and
Irving Berlin are America’s big
three of melody and rhythm, and
“Top Hat” is a colorful, romantic
story, richly spiced with comedy.
What seems baffling is how the
pair master new routines for each
dance.
As the captivating strains of the
“Piccolino” rise in a crescendo, As
taire and Miss Rogers gyrate faster,
gayer, more enthusiastically. But
their grace is unchanged; indeed, it
heightens.
Helen Broderick, stellar New
York stage comedienne, Edward Ev
erett Horton, Erik Rhodes and Eric
Blore head the supporting cast.
