Dancing On Air ! EVERY young musical comedy star aspires to become a dancing partner of the illustrious Fred Astaire, for that is a real claim to fame in the dancing world. And these days it's pert Jane Powell who has combined her singing talents with some fast' stepping and become Fred Astaire's newest dancing partner. It is she who is dancing on air and in Fred's arms as his co-star in Metro-GoldwynMayer's new Technicolor musical, "Royal Wedding." The two appear as a brother-and-sister song and dance team who first hit the top on Broadway with such numbers as, "How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life," then go to England for the royal wedding where they both find gay romances. Jane jumps enthusiastically in the air during one dance. Jane and Fred doing what they gaily call their "Liars" number. Jane as a fiery native Haitian dances in fast Latin tempo with Fred. Skirts whirl around Jane as she gracefully follows Fred in "Royal Wedding."
