refused to
herself! Imitate When Miss Moore set the entertain- ment world aftre with her divine volte in the now memorable “One Night of Love," frantic producers scanned the world's opera murts for "anotlier Grace Moore,"
"They hope- fully set out to produce at
"another 'One Night of Love"" and succced- ed only in upproaching but not sur- passing this history-making Alm. With her new production scheduled and imminent, Miss Moore was firm- ly convinced that the cycle of semi- operatie musical productions which shy launched with "One Night of Love" has run its course. The formula which had proved so suc- cessful for her heretofore was rele- gated
to limbo, and a newer, more refreshing musical
usical type of alm de- vised, How well she succeeded is evident in her current Columbia production, "The King Steps Out," now at the King's and Alhambra Theatres, in which Frunchat Tone, Walter Connolly and Raymond Wal- burn lend their able support. The most unusual departure apparent in The King Steps Out" is the music which was written by Fritz Kreisler. violin virtuoso and outstanding con temporary

classical orlas which were spied Interpolated in former films. the songs which Miss Moore slugs in "The King Steps Out" are all from the pen of Kreisler with lyrics by Dorothy
Fleids.
Among other changes noted are the colourful set- tings the court of Emperor Francis Josef in Austria and the Bavarian estate of Duke Maximilian; the lilt- ing romantic screen play by Sidney Buchman, story of guy intrigue
