A LADY'S MORALS."
A charming musical romance,
"A. Lady's Morals,is running at the Queen's Theatro till Saturday, June, 6. It is a film very well worth seeing. The love story of a famous Swedish opera singer, Jenny Lind, it is beautifully noted and charming- ly produced. Grace Moore who takes the principal party has a lovely soprano voice that lenda itself perfectly to reproduction: Reginald Donny has deserted his usual comic role, and appears as Paul Brandt, a composer in love with Jenny. In the first part he is. a wild, unconventional artist, most attractively insolent; later, when he goes blind and gives her up, he acts with great restraint a very difficult part that might otherwise have become sickly sentimental. Jobyna Howland, as Jenny Land's friend and companion, gives the humorous touch to the film with her excitable temper and cutting tongue.
This is the romance of a WOMEN who really lived, it is extraordinarily well acted, and holds one's interesti from start to finish. Only at that was there a disappointment, I felt. the ending should not have been a happy one, and yet I was relieved tol find it was.
