A lusty duet when Nelson Eddy joins with the sensational new star Rise Stevens. Miss Stevens is unquestionably a thrush. Her voice has the liquidity of a babbling brook. Although unlike the famed stream of Tennyson it only goes on to the ultimate convincing note. • • • There has been some curiosity about this new excitement. It is a blending of two famous works. • • • Ferenc Molnar's "The Guardsman" has been embellished and enriched with the historic score of Oscar Straus' "The Chocolate Soldier".
