METROPOLITAN-"The Desert Song"
Not content with stealing thunder"
from several dramatic successes Of the
legitimate stage, the "talkies" have in
vaded the province of musical comedy
and in THE Desert Song" give promise
of Just how far they will go in this
new field. In comparison with the mu-
steal play as originally performed. the
picture holds up remarkably well and
has in addition the advantage OF a
more colorful and varied setting.
Nor have the talkies translated the
original into "throbbingly passionate
drama of the desert sands" but they
have with excellent judgment kept the
musical comedy spirit throughout. Here
is no attempt at heavy emoting, no
effort to cloak the thing in the usual
movie realism. The actors never forget
that this is musical comedy, and yet the
effect is only natural. when every great
moment calls for a song, and the situ-
alton itself has that touch of delightful
implausibility which seems part of
the heritage of successful musical
shows.
Despite the magnificent desert scenes,
most of the sets are constructed on
the glitteringly lavish lines of musical
comedy, and there are dancing girls
"sheik" choruses and all the colorful
trappings of the original. Romberg's
brilliant musical score is used in its
entirety, and this is the real reason
for the success OF THE Desert Song"
