'Royal Wedding'
Last Times at
Capitol Theatre
And now, Fred Astaire dances on
the ceiling!
The popular M-G-M star, whose
pictures unfailingly produce new
and ingenious ideas for hoofing
routines, reveals his latest remark
able number in the Technicolor mu
sical, ‘Royal Wedding,” at the
Capitol Theatre for the last times,
in which Jane Powell appears as
his dancing partner for the first
time in the story of a famed brother
and sister singing-dancing team. It
is likely to become the most talked
about of all Astaire’s film dances.
In the new routine, done to a
Burton Lane-Alan Jay Lerner song
called, “You’re All the World to
Me,” Astaire not only dances on
the ceiling but also up and down
the walls of a room. It has often
been said of Astaire that he appears
to be dancing on air, and now he
proves it!

Golden. Bears of the University of
California took over todaV as the
No. 1 college football team in the
land after threatening to hit the

surprise, and Ohio State, the pre
campaign favorite to win the Big
Ten championship, both tumbled.

off by Wisconsin Saturday, dropped
to 17th, and Notre Dame, beaten
27-20 by. Southern Methodist, plum
meted to No. 21.

strong showing against California,
the ballot-casters didn’t give the

Louis to Keep on t
Chasing for Crown '
POMPTON LAKES, N.J., Oct. 16
—W—As long as either Jersey Joe
Walcott or Ezzard Charles Is heavy
weight champion, Joe Louis will
keep on chasing after the golden
crown.
The old Brown Bomber made that
clear today as he resumed practice
for his Oct. 26 ten rounder with un
defeated Rocky Marciano in Madi
son Square Garden.
Asked how long he intended to
keep on fighting, Joe pounded his
gloves together and said, “As long
as either Walcott or Charles is
champion, I'm going to keep on
chasing."
Louis was 37 on May 13. Walcott
turned 37 on Jan. 31 according to
the record books but there are many
in the business who believe he is
past 40. Age is creeping up on
Charles, too. He reached the 30
mark on July 20.
Louis defeated Walcott in both
of their clashes and was badly
beaten by Charles in their single
meeting.
