"A new movie star emerged from the Capitol screen when Nelson Eddy appeared opposite Jeanette MacDonald In *Naughty Marietta' . . . hi* fine, full powered voice is admirably suited to the Herbert score ... a welcome addition to the screen, he brings to it a canny sense of comedy and plenty of savoir faire.'* —Kate Cameron, N. Y. Daily News
"Superlative* for 'Naughty Marietta*! It's the top, the super-stratosphere of musical motion picture entertainment I In Nelson Eddy, who debuts eo auspiciously as Jeanette MacDonald's hero, the screen has found a thrilling thrush, possessed not only of rare vocal lone, but of personality and form and features cast in the heroic mold. At. the film's Capitol Theatre world premiere, a madly enthusiastic audience applauded each song to an extent that made the dialogue immediately following inaudible." — Regina Crewe, N. Y. American
"Those advance enthusiasms were justified. Nelson Eddy is a find, and Metro-Goldwyn -Mayer has wisely put him in a part well suited lo his acting ability and magnificent voice. Jeanette MacDonald is at the top! It is a happy part for her; and Mr. Eddy seems the ideal co-star. This handsome version of his operetta should please even Victor Herbert himself.
—Eileen Creelman, N. Y. Sun
"It's1 ler-rific. MacDon aid-Eddy are the new team sensation of the industry.' Their duet of 'Sweet Mystery of Life* is the grandest thing ever recorded I" -Ed Sullivan, Daily News
"Naughty Marietta3 is a personal triumph for Nelson Eddy. Already famous on the concert stage, Mr. Eddy is established as a definite screen personality."
-Rose Pelswick, N. Y. Journal
"'Naughty Marietta' is one of the best musical piclures that has ever been made . . . Victor Herbert's music rings out from the screen with that same sweep that made 'One Night of Love* a landmark. W. S. Van Dyke is one of Hollywood's wonder men his uncanny knack of swelling every inch of this picture with rich orchestrations and of disguising the plot with such music as will make you jump out of your seat is a wonder and a delight. From now on, Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy will be referred to as 'tops'.**
— E. de S. Melcher, Washington Star
"Virtually perfection of cinema light opera. The triumph of 'Naughty Marietta' is registered by Nelson Eddy, who has a brilliant baritone voice. He is engaging and good-looking and seems to me a far more valuable acquisition than even the celebrated Mr. Tibbett."
-Richard Walts, Jr., N. Y. Herald-Tribune
"A screen operetta which would have delighted its composer. Encountering Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy in splendid voice, W. S. Van Dyke has L made a photoplay which i? gay I y romantic and rhapsodical ly tuneful. Such fortissimo singing as Mr. Eddy and Miss MacDonald provide for those rapturous love songs has not been heard in a motion picture theatre since 'One Night of Love*. Mr. Eddy's distinguished baritone insures him a spotlight on the screen. Miss MacDonald, of course, is an accomplished actress as well as a first-class soprano. Then, for humor, there is Frank Morgan as the hilariously baffled Governor of New Orleans.**
-Andre Sennwald, N. Y. Times
"Great entertainment! An exquisite film, so rich musically, and strong in story, it makes the average musical movie seem tawdry. Handsomely produced and skillfully directed, it features the splendid voices of soprano Jeanette MacDonald and baritone Nelson Eddy. The story is dramatic, its tender charm contrasted with stirring scenes of action and suspense." -Bland Johaneson, Daily Mirror
"Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's latest cinema triumph is a complete one. Never before has music soared to gloriously from the screen. Glittering and swiftly moving musical. Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy duets are inspirational. Eddy's technique is al once smoother and more adaptable to the screen, even than Tibbett's. 'Naughty Marietta' is the perfect marriage of operetta with the cinema.**

"A great screen operetta, sung to perfection. Possessed of a brilliant baritone voice, handsome Mr. Eddy has a way about him, which, with his singing ahQity should make him one of cinema's outstanding figures. Not even the great Lawrence Tibbett has ever sung before the screen microphone with more telling effect or beauty. MacDonald*s is a stunning performance both vocally and dramatically.**
