Civic Theatre
Marlene Dietrich goes quadri-ling-ual in one of her songs in Paramount's romantic comedy, '"A Foreign Affair," showing on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Civic Theatre. She sings it in English, French, German and Russian. The tiihe, "The Ruins of Berlin," is one of her specialty numbers as an entertainer in a Berlin night club which is patronised by occup'ation troops of four nations, as well as by German citizens. Although the first two choruses are in English, the reprise is an adroit mixture of the other three languages. "A Foreign Affair" costars the glamorous star with Jean Arthur and John Lund.
