To analyze the selling qualities" Of
''The Broadway Melody" or to COM
n1ent on the reasons for its success Is
useless. For the public has come
across with the big comment that Is
packing EN- In for standing room" for
a third week at the Columbia. and has
attested to the fact that naturalnesS,
above all things, Is the password to
picture success,
"The Broadway Melody" Is from any
angle a rather commonplace story, but
the situation Is nevertheless true, and
the development of it unaffected and
real. Full of heart Ohrobs,. with a
featuring of the Remuneration" theme
and frequent skating on the thin ice
Of sentiment. the thing never slipsSuto
hopeless sentimentality. And with a
plot that, II not compelling, is certain
ly genuine. the picture is .embellished
with gorgeous trappings, enlivened with
good comedy. and sustained by real
acting.
In it Bessie Love scores not only q
comeback, but q triumph Surely the
Bessie Of q rather wishy-washy past
never limited at the talent she brings
to this film. She throws herself into
the work with an energy and a verve
that would have left an ordinary &C
tress in complete exhaustion, and she
talks and acts like the plucky trouper
she portrays. Anita Page, blond Of
hair and personality. gets the most out
Of her big chance to date, by acting the
type that nature made her.
AS for Charles King, 1t is evident that
he was recruited from the musical COM
edy ranks, where classic profiles are
not as essential as good hoofng. AS a
type King does excellent work.
There is a spectacular revue. dag
cling bit, with q song, THE Dance
of the Painted Dolls" that stands well
above the other mediocre melodies Of
the piece.
For those who are o bit weary of
stories of loves remuneration. however
convincingly told, there are color and
laviShness to compensate.
Confession" q grim and tragic mo-
ment Of war days, Is short subject
Of really great dramatic power. The
picture was intelligently directed by
Lionel Barrymore and has q cast Of
four excellent players.
