MOROCCO ( 1930) 227 Ann Harding's long, authentically blonde hair, her well-modulated voice, and her transparent sincerity made her as popular in films as she had been on the stage. She retired temporarily from the screen to marry Werner Janssen, the orchestral conductor, but recently returned. She is shown Jhere, with James Rennie, in The Girl of the Golden West. ABOVE BIGHT The wave of musicals that had engulfed 1929 subsided somewhat a year later, but the producers still reckoned that there was gold in them thar trills. The call went out for opera singers. Lawrence Tib bett went from the Metropolitan to make the successful film, The Rogue Song. M-G-M then put him in The New Moon, with Grace Moore (shown here). Tibbett went on to greater popularity, but the producers shook their heads over Miss Moore. She was not, they said, photogenic. More of that, later. BELOW Marlene Dietrich's first American picture, Morocco, made her a sensation. Josef von Sternberg directed, as he did so many later Dietrich films. Gary Cooper was starred opposite Dietrich in this Paramount production.
