Leo, the M-G-M Lion, roars out thia
entertainment tip:
★ ★ ★ ★
You’re going to be crazy about “Girt
Crazy", M-G-M’s musical-comedy hit
that combines a Broadway flair with
a Western air!
★ ★ * ★
Because it has dancing—and plenty of
romancing!
„ mm
Because it stars Mickey Rooney and
Judy Garland—together with Tommy
Dorsey and his orchestra in some of the
most delightful screen-fun of the year*
* * * *
Because the whole gay, glad story is set
to the rhvt.imic, melodic music of tbl
late and beloved George Gershwin!
★ ★ ★ ★
Ringing in your ear, will be lilting songs
like these:
“I Got Rhythm”
“Bidin' My Time”
"Embraceable You”
“Could You Use Me”
"They’re Writing Songs Of
Love But Not For Me”
★ ★ ★ ★
When Mickey Rooney—cast as a
Ni '".t'T.ib Cowboy heads West into the
real thing—events race to a merry
conclusion.
★ ★ ★ ★
The Broadway glamour is sustained
even out in the great open spaces—
when Mickey sees to it that a bevy of
beauties are brought on from the F-a«t
for a big show!
★ ★ ★ ★
Your theatre will soon be the show
place for this rollicking show-piece from
the studios of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer!
★ ★ ★ ★
And we can practically guarantee you
will be “Girl Crazy” when you see
this film. * *• ★ *
