Charlottetown movie fans should mark on their calendars today, the date when Republic's gay young musical. "Calendar Girl" is schedul- ed for its local opening at the Capitol Theatre.

Ileralded as an engaging miscel- lany of lilting tunes. gay and ten- der romances, and hilarious humor, it should live up to the type of en- tertainment that is expected of its producer-director, Allan DWB-Tl.

Jane Frazee has the title role of the girl who poses for a calendar .n the early l900's, and thereby be- comes enmeshed in a tangle of romance, intrigue and parental dis- approval. Wiilimm Marshall and Junes Ellison portray the two young men who are pursuing her- one of them gay. irresponsible and wealthy, the other earliest, serious and sincere.

"Why not? It's n pufblic club, isn't it?"

"For initiates. yes. But. the fact is-and I'm sorry-I gave the lady to understand that I haven't be- trayed my private vice to you. l think I conveyed the impression that I was sincerely fond you‘.

"And are you?" asked Peter. with the hint of his smile pt-o- ping out at her, and back in a moment, before she could take exception to it.
