92 The Filmgoers' Annual VEN without Lawrence Tibbett and Grace Moore, " New Moon " would be a picture of unusual merit, since it tells a story of love and adventure against the colourful background of Turkestan. The action opens on board a ship in which a Russian Princess and a young Lieutenant in the Russian Army are passengers. They fall in love, and the Lieutenant is in seventh heaven until the ship arrives in port and he learns that the Princess is betrothed to the Governor of Turkestan, who is a nasty fellow ! The Lieutenant, maddened by the deception NEW MOON of the Princess, insults her, with the result that the Governor exiles the Lieutenant to an outpost where savage troops make a practice of murdering their officers. The Princess follows, determined to horsewhip the Lieutenant, but, by a sudden raid of hostile troops, they are surrounded, and, in a tremendous climax, we arrive at a happy ending. " New Moon " is an exceptional talking picture of colour and action, of music and romance. It will carry you into a world of high ^ 'adventure. It fulfils the destiny of the cinema as the House of Dreams. Therefore see it. Therefore you will enjoy it.
