golden voice. The story, which moves from New York to bohemian Paris, that of a man who is loved by two women, but who really loves only one. His success, however, de pends on the woman whose affection ho cannot reciprocate, and there are many amusing and some near-tragle adventures before he achieves success and the romance for which he yearna.
Among the operatic favourites which Martini sings are urias from the work of Mascagni, Leoncavallo and Puccini, supplemented by two new popular. Rongs by Con Conrad and Herb Magidson, Madame Ernestine Schum ann-Heink, world famous concert art- ist, makes her debut in "Here's to Romanes". Murla Gambarelli and Vincente Escudero, who have won fame by their dancing, are other not- able members of the cast. Alfred E. Green directed the picture.
