Whistling November finds the motion picture theatres doing very well, thank
y°u * • •
For "The Chocolate Soldier" (not propaganda for candy or warriors) comes singing to the screens of America.
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".
It might well have been called "The Chocolate Guardsman".
But be that as it may it will unquestionably be called a great hit. ■k • •
Eddy is in rare form. Director Roy Del Ruth gets a half-Nelson on his audience with a whole Nelson on his screen.
* * •
This is a film to see and to hear. To see beauty in the unstinted M-G-M manner.
* • •
And to hear "My Hero", "Sympathy", "The Chocolate Soldier" and other Straus songs of romance, as well as stirring pieces fromWagner, Schubert, Bizet.
* • •
In the cast also are Nigel Bruce and Florence Bates. Victor Saville's is the producing hand.
• • •
To be not brief but allinclusive, ' 'The Chocolate Soldier" has everything
from A to . . . • • •
Zip and zest.
