Mirfch and melody share honours at the Civic Theatre on Thursday night in R.K.O.-Radio's gay com-edy-musical, "Beat the Band." Starring in the fllm is Frances Langford.

In "The Exile," the second attraction ,Maria Montez displays a surprisingly new talent — comedy.

Douglas Fairbanks, Jnr., Maria's co-star and producer of the filrn, is seen as the King.
