CIVIC THEATRE
SATURDAY AND MONDAY Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Music for Millions," which stars the remarkable.little Margaret O'Brien with Jimmy Durante, Jose Iturbi and June Allyson, is the story of a little girl, played by Margaret, who comes to the city to stay with her big sister ,(June Allyson) and proceeds to become part-and-parcel not only of the lives of her sister and the latter's fellow (or girl) musicians in Iturbi 's band, but of Iturbi himself and of Jimmy Durante, business manager par excellence. At about the same time that Margaret discovers that June is going to become a mother, the other girls learn that June's husoand has been reported missing in action in the South Pacific. How this is kept from the mother-to-oe and the unexpected developments that lead to a most happy ending make for tender and charming cinema fare and for the entire family. Interspersed in a most logical and fitting manner is the music of ;he world's greatest composers, including Victor Herbert, Chopin, Handel, Grieg and Tschaikowsky.
