GINGER RETURNS IN TECHNICOLOR HIT HERETODAY Ray Milland, Warner Baxter, Support Star "Naughty Marietta" at Rialto. Medford's "neighbor," Ginger Sogers and Ray Milland, who haven't been seen on the screen together since their hilarious comedy, "The Major and the Minor," have been reunited by Paramount for one of its biggest productions of this or any other year ' Lady in the Dark," Based upon the play by Moss Hart, with music by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Ira Gershwin, the film version of "Lady in the Dark," is said to surpass in vis ual beauty its stage sister, and to provide for the talented Gin ger and Milland another sure fire hit. Filmed in glorious tech nicolor, the story of the woman editor of a magazine whose re pressions almost wreck her life, is told against a background of dreams brought to life when Ginger, who plays the woman, is induced to visit a psycho analyst. "Lady in the Dark" opens today at the Craterian theatre. "Lady m the Dark" was pro duced and directed by Mitchell Leisen whose past hits have proved him one of Hollywood's top picture-makers. According to those who have seen the picture, cult production assignment is a masterful job. Departing from the usual twin-bill programs at the Rialto the single musical feature "Naughty Marietta" will hold the spotlight.
