II is expected that NovaTrO. who
gave every one a pleasant little
shock in his recent picture. The
Pagan when he sang The Pagan
Love Song" in a trained tenor
voice. will offer moyie-goers a sec
ond surprise in his speaking voice,
which is reported to be admirably
suited to megaphone requirements.
It is also stated that a slight accent

to Novarros singing. Metro-Gold-

Clifford Grey, lyricist for the pop

engaged to write the lyrics Tor the

He Cared" and The Shepherds

chorus. Marion Harris, the we'll

Jordan have their own solos as we'll

duction, from both a musical and
pictorial angle, has been rated on a
par with the best stage Operettas.

lieutenant works to effect the tri-

between keeping out Of the hands
Of the pursuing royalistS and re-

and a reproduction OF the gardens
at Versailles in which an Albertina

 It was through the persuasion of Wilbur Mack that she left school in Chicago and joined him in a light filtration skit in vaudeville. They opened on the same bill with Della Fox, and other such celebrities of the time.
 Miss Walker has had singular success in the varieties, and ten years ago she retired into private life. Following the exodus of many stage people from New York, she arrived in California a short time ago and encountered an old ac- Quaintance in Russell Mack, dia- logue director of the RKO Studios.
