Maxine Doyle, a brand new screen face, has the feminine lead in the picture opposite Pill Regan, another newcomer to the screen. Halilting tenor voice hitherto heard over, the airways, now wins more admiration when he rendera deveral of the hit songs of the pleture. Comedy is ably supplied by one two contrasting types of fun-makers--Durante hin self, the "dese and dem" expert, and Charles Butterworth, whoso drollery in almost pedantic.

a new dance executed by the Albertina Rasch ballerinns in the great Embassy sequence of the Metro. Goldwyn-Mayer spectacle. Dances in differently coloured costumes weave in an out in an "over and under" movement exactly no retus are interwoven in making basket. The effect is amazing. The "musical retrospect," is heard in the sequence where Maurice Chevalier is on trial and events of the past go through his mind, Instead of showing this by pictured scenes "dissolving" into each other, the music that accompanied the different events is heard, blend- ing or "dissolving" from one air to another just as the pictorial "retros pect" is photographed. The Embassy sequence is the most elaborate in the haunting transcription of Franz Lehor's gay Viennese romance. The largest set in the history of the studio housed it; hundreds of dancers are reen, and it is here that the. glamorous "Merry. Widow Waltz" is presented. The co-stars are support. d by Una Merkel.
