There is also an Albertina Rasch ballet of 100 girls who dance to special music contributed by the Dimitri modernistic - composer, Tiomkin.
The producers of "The Rogue Song" state that in spite of the ela- borate music, ballets and colour detalls, the picture is not "high brow," Barrymore making it a point to submerge the music to the interesting plot and using the songs only at strategic points in the nar- rative where they will be heard as a natural part of the story.
