OLD FAVORITE
IS A NEW
TALKER

Opera goerS and music lovers
generally will find The Phan
tom of the Opera" now playing
the Rialto Theater, Of unusual
interest, as Universal has re-
made this remarkable produc-
ton into a talking, singing and
dancing epic.
The story is laid in and
around the famous Paris Opera
House, and includes among its
many big scenes production
of Gounod's Faust" in exactly
the style this opera was pre-
sented in 1880. The songs.
duets, trios and choruses. as
well as the ballet number of
the opera have been recorded
by expert singers and a 90-piece
orchestra. This is said to be
the first presentation of a COM
plete opera by the talking
screen.
Lon CLANCY, is again seen as
the Phantom, and while he is
heard to rave in this latest pro-
duction, Universal officials are
frank enough to state that it
is not the voice of CLANCY.
Mary Philbin and Norman
Kerry, who also appear in the
original version, again play their
Identical roles and speak every
line of the new dialogue. AS
the picture is shown today, it
Is greater than ever, and it
really helps to bring the cele-
brated operate arias of Faust"
to the talking and singing
screen, while the many beauti-
full phony orchestra that ren.
ders the musical score.
The picture was made from
the famous mystery story by
CASTOR Laroux, originally di-
rected by Rupert Julian, and
the present sound and dialogue
version was directed by Ernest
Laemmle, with C. Roy Hunter
supervising the sound record
ing. The rendition of Gunod'S
beautiful music has been done
with remarkable fidelity.

TIME
HERE TO SAY
FAREWELL

Blossom Time" that hardy
perennial operetta of Franz

ton and the best company that
has ever played it, definite an
nouncement is made in con,
junction with the engagement
that this positively will be its
farewell appearance here.
1t comes here on it's trans
continental tour that will tax
it into every important clt" n
the United States and Can>Ga,
covering a period of about two
years and $4,000 miles of terri
tory.
In view of this, the ShubertS,
under whose direction Blossom
Time" is presented, have given
it an all new production with
costumes and scenery said to
be superior and more elaborate
than those of any operetta that
has come out of workshops Of
that prolific producing firm.
Knight MacGregor, popu!arly
regarded as the best of all
baritoneS who have sung the
Franz Schubert role, and last
seen and heard in the part four
years ago, has been recalled for
this years special COMPANY.
Genevieve Naegele, Nell Jewell,
late with the Marx Brothers in
The CocoanutS": Herbert Lyle,
remembered from several Shub-
ert operettas. and Robert Lee
Allen, veteran comic of Bios
som Time" will also be seen in
this wears cast.
