tive.
Landru, just returned from a,tour

ing to create more interest in next

TYRONE POWER - KIM NOVAK
NEW EMPRESS SUNDAY IN
TUNEFUL "DUCHIN STORY"
The story of a fabulous lifetime,
a blending of stardust and suffering,
passion and pain, music and mag
ic, are glowingly told in Columbia ;
Pictures* “The Eddy Duchin Story,” '
according to advance report. The
new film stars Tyrone Power as
the handsome young musician who
shook the golden towers of Man
hattan with his hands on the keys
of a piano, and beautiful Kim No
vak as Marjorie Oelrichs, the girl of
his dreams. In CiemaScope and col
or by Technicolor, “The Eddy Du
chin Story” opens Sunday, July 15th
at the New Empress Theatre.
Power is said to give a truly im
pressive performance as the gifted
musician who knew more drama
and despair, love and triumph than
most men ever live to know. Miss
Novak, fresh from a personal tri
umph in the memorable “Picnic"
reportedly contributes as vivid a
picture of a girl in love in “The
Eddy Duchin Story.” Here, in sharp
contrast with her “Picnic” role, she
is a famous, beautiful, sophisticated
young woman who possesses the
wholehearted warmth that can de
light in sharing peanuts with pig
eons on a rain-swept, romantic Cen
tral Park afternoon.
'‘The Eddy Duchin Story” has
been acclaimed as being more than
the story of a man known to mil
lions only by his music—music by
Duchin. It is an elemental story, of
love and of life.
But, naturally, because it is the
story of a musician, music looms !
large in the rich entertainment of
“The Eddy Duchin Story.” With the j
brilliant piano recordings by Car
men Cavallaro on the film’s sound
track, "The Eddy Duchin Story” in
cludes some 20 great tunes, rang- ;
ing from the nostalgic rhythms of
the flaming 20’s, when Duchin first
began his rise to fame, to t 3
haunting ballads of mid-centu r.
Power's screen appearance as Co
chin, with that master's brilliant pi
ano technique, evidences months >S
intense rehearsal; synchronization
with the Carmen Cavallaro per
formance is superb.
