liked it even better than the general
public.
One of the things Miss Moore was
glad to report. with a kind of remi-
niscent bitterness in her tone, was
that there is no Minnie the Moocher"
number in her latest picture. There was
one in her last picture, remember,
and if it had been done in techni-
color, Miss Moores face would have
shown up as practically scarlet, color
composed of one-half embarrassment,
one-half unsurpassed fury.
In "Ill Take Romance" they let
her off with singing She'll Be Comm
Round the Mountain" as trio with
Douglas and Stewart Erwin.
But I didn't mind that" Miss Moore
hastened to explain. I've been sing
ing that since I left my cradle. It's
part of the folk music of my native
Tennessee hills"
But that Minnie the Moocher"
number! Miss Moore insists it Is
something that should happen to an
artist only once in a lifetime"
But Miss Moore can forget it all
temporarily, to talk rather like an
excited little girl about the fact that
Columbia pictures will have, new
leading man for her soon. He is
Jose Luccione, an Italian, with the
voice of an angel and an appearance
not too near that of an angel to make
him what the public wants in the way
OF picture stars. Mr.. Luccione is go
ing to be screen-tested on December 3,
and Miss Moore is certain that i'm
mediately thereafter she will have her
first real singing leading man.
He is arriving just in time, too,
she says, because Hollywood is about
to spin out of the cycle of slapstick,
dizzy farce comedy into romance.
musical and otherwise. 1t sounded
rather like a prayer. the way she de-
scribed the next cycle in films: like
the prayer of an artist who hoped to

AS for Miss MacDonald's dancing,
she had to do it in order to be the cafe
enchantress that Nina Maria was sup
posed to be- Positively she does not let
down on this part of the character.
AS most dancers want to be actresses
or singers, Miss Macdonald enters into
the spirit of her dancing in a manner
which indicates that sopranos have a
suppressed desire to be Pavlowas. It
is a quite pleasing departure from
the conventional pattern.

like John Barrymore and is sorry for
it. plays the tall. dark and handsome
rival of Jones for the hand of Miss

A s FOR bringing her band of artists
here to serenade (and not sweetly)
the political geniuses who draw tax
bills, Miss Moore wants it understood
that the glamour of a screen artist
is an expensive thing. A rich back
ground is no less important to the
artist, she feels. than factory and
tools to the company making auto
mobiles. And the background de-
teriorates a whole lot the faster.
Another thing, Miss Moore and her
chorus will let officialdom understand
is that the artist has only about Is
useful years in this world. After
which, of course, they will need money

tas. Its story is a maundering, unex-
citing tale which does not matter
much because there always is a gay
and glorious song somewhere along
the long, winding road.
As a supplement to the splendor
OF 1t all, two novelties are added in
the form of Miss MacDonald's dane
Ing dts the TRUTH and the substitu-
ton OF Jones for Nelson Eddy. Miss
MacDonald's dancing is entirely ac-
ceptable and Jones tenor voice is
quite adequate to the requirements

BY way of making the picture more
piquant from the standpoint of music,
the producing company has supple
mented the original Friml score with
the modernistic treatment of Herbert

spect for his elder even though he has
added two vocal creations of his own.

will be found an extremely pleasing
insert. Pictorially it involves the
amorous figure Of Jones serenading
Miss Macdonald as she rides along a
mountain highway in a mule-drawn
coach. There is a lot of scenery in
the sequence, quite bit of music and
comedy and, rather more than the
other items, there is youngster who
looks strangely like youthful Pan
romping ahead of the coach piping
out his exuberant little heart. It is a
very beguiling thing even if. by its
very length, it seems to have over
impressed Robert 3. Leonard, who di-
rected the production The serenade,
sung by Jones. is one of the items of
the picture which will keep you from
missing Eddy no matter how insep-
arabic you feel he and Miss MacDon-

THE thing that makes Miss Mac.

tance. She was getting along quite
well with the business until Don
