ScREENLAND Honor Page m To Allan Jones, heman of song, who steals "The Firefly" Jones rides his way, singing all the while, into the favor of the public in "The Firefly." Below, the delightful "Donkey Serenade," with Jones riding along beside Jeanette MacDonald's coach, singing his heart out, accompanied by the coachman's guitar and the charming piping of little Robert Spindola. THERE have been singing actors, and acting singers. But all too seldom is a splendid singing voice combined with acting talent and true manliness. Such a rare combination is Allan Jones, and so he becomes definitely the man of the moment in movie operetta circles. Allan has robust charm, a strong, musically fine voice which also has audience appeal and warm personality ; and he is an excellent, always convincing actor — particularly, sigh the femmes in the audience, in his love scenes ! With Jeanette MacDonald in "The Firefly" he rides off with most of the honors, for his boundless zest, high spirits, and gay good humor, as well as his glorious voice. Hail a new star : Allan Jones. 6
