Gals By Margaret Boswell recalls old Warner musical finales
The writer fondly recalls Garry Moore’s early scene title "early Warner Brothers" and memories of 1930s and 1940s musical finales with stars like Dick Powell Ruby Keeler and Betty Grable. She contrasts those grand productions with modern TV and films, noting longer runtimes, modern technicolor, and current kid favorites while wondering if younger viewers miss marble staircases and classic spectacle.
