Theatre yesterday for the first time locally, swept audiences with gales of laughter over the hilarious situations and sent them home gaily whistling the catchy airs. To add to the entertainment of the picture there is a lively romance set in the glamorous background of the stage and radio, behind the scenes. The famous song team of Wrubel and Dixon, wrote five original songs for the production, which rank among the hits of the year. They are sung by the famous star of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Everett Marshall, who has one of the finest baritone voices in the country. The talented all star cast is headed by Dolores Del Rio, exotic Mexican star. She plays the part of a temperamental South American prima donna who hopes to set Broadway by the ears, but whose success is marred by her own tempestuous rages and her inability to segregate her ardent love affairs from her operatic work, all of which adds to the hilarity of the piece. Miss Del Rio is radiantly beautiful and her charm is accentuated by the fiery and impassioned manner in which she delineates the character. She is perfectly fitted by birth and temperament for the role, and gives an unusually lively and artistic interpretation of her part. Mr. Marshall proves that he is as much at home in an acting role for the sereen as he is a singer. Though comparatively new in films, having played in but one picture previously, he is not without thorough training in the art of acting, having been in Dolores Del Rio Uses Oil and Sun As Beauty Aid Oil and sunlight are the two great beauty aids—and the only ones—of the lovely Latin star, Dolores Del Rio Possessed of the glamorous olive complexion of so many of her country-women, the “Mexican orchid” depends only upon the fine texture of her own complexion, with the warm red blood showing through the healthy tanned skin, for her striking appearance. Between pictures, she wears no rouge, no powder, her only makeup consisting of brilliant darkred lipstick, and dark eye-shadow. She removes her make-up, not with soap and water or cold cream, but with mineral oil. This serves at once as a pore-cleanser and as a guard against the drying effect of the sun. Tennis, badminton and swimming are the star’s favorite sports; it makes no difference to her that the glare of the sun is unavoidable in all of them.

Busby Berkeley directed the picture from the story and sereen play by Jerry Wald, Julius J. Epstein and Robert Andrews. vaudeville and musical comedy for years as well as on the operatic stage. He also is famed for his singing over the radio. Guy Kibbee, as a radio program sponsor and Berton Churchill, in the role of a theatrical producer, are both dragged inte a merry-go-round of troubles through the contrary cussedness of the prima donna, who works or walks off the set as the whim seizes her, all of which makes for laughter. Both are talented comedians and enact these particular roles with unusual skill. Allen Jenkins gives a charaeteristic portrayal of a tough press agent while Hobart Cavanaugh stirs the risibilities by the highbrow manner in which he takes off a much too important director of public relations.
