220 THE TALKING PICTURE Another M-G-M contribution to 1929 was The Broadway Melody. This was a story of backstage life, with plenty of singing, dancing, and chorus work introduced plausibly enough to delight a large public. Three of its leading actors achieved individual triumphs. Right to left, they are: Anita Page, just beginning her career; Charles King, musical-comedy lead; and Bessie Love, who emerged brilliantly after a temporary eclipse. BELOW United Artists produced a screen version of Longfellow's Evangeline that was part talkie and had a synchronized musical score underlining the story with great effectiveness. Furthermore, it had a beautiful setting, excellent photography, and Dolores Del Rio.
