Para- mount production which opens to- day at the Queen's and Alhambra Theatres and at the Star Theatre to-morrow, in celebration of Para- mount's Sliver Jubilee, is superior A resolution moved by the creen entertainment. The excel-Bishop of Ely. Dr. Bernard Hey. lent Swarthout voice is given pleaty of celluloid footage-and its full range is brought to the sound screen for the first time. In other words, other pictures she has made have not shown the prima donna to the best advantage, but this one does....

As & leading man. Mias Swarthout has the capable and likeable Fred MacMurray playing opposite her, As usual, his per- formance is pleasing and plent!- fully supplied with comedy relief, The comics, however, are well sup- ported by Jack Oakie and Herman Bing.

The story of The Champagne Waltz," while light, is well suited to Miss Swarthout, and is a much better yarn than anything they have given her to date. MacMur- ray is cast as an American Jazz band leader on the loose with his musicians in Vienna. He is under contract with the city's leading Impressario, played by Herman Blog. and because of his popu- Carity, has attracted all the busi- ness nway from

the Viennese Waltz Palace. Miss Swarthout ap- pears as the grand-daughter of Fritz Leiber, the director of the Waltz Palace Orchestra

She and MacMurray are brought together when she attempts to get Fred's orchestra out of competi- tion.

Dakle is cast as MacMurray's manager who gets himself tangled up with a Viennese countess and suddenly wakes up one morning to find that he has married her.

Summing the entire plcture up. there seems to be very little in that can be criticized. The music is good, Miss Swarthout and other members of the cast give fine -performances and most of the comedy is ot the side-splitting variety. The Champagne Waltz" can be highly recommended for everyone.
