A delightful story of an opera star's life and loves, the picture stars Nino Martini Mar-tini with Genevieve Tobin and Anita Louise in the romantic roles. Martini, who holds the Columbia medal for 1933, was one of the first singers to bring classical classi-cal music to the air, and still re-' mains one of the most popular. In the supporting cast is Maria Gambarilli, famous as a member of Roxy's Gang, one of radio's most celebrated aggregations. The romantic plot of this picture serves as a background for some of the most entrancing dancing and song that the screen has been priviledged to present. The excitement of a gold rush, the primitive justice of the lawless law-less west, the romance of a strong man and a lovely woman are the entertainment elements offered in Fox Film's grand new film of outdoor out-door adventure, "Thunder Mountain," Moun-tain," comes to the Firmage theatre thea-tre Friday and Saturday as the other picture in the double feature fea-ture show.

Sunday and Monday Elaborately mounted, but with its rich costumes, settings and spectacle never allowed to interfere inter-fere with the forceful directness of the great Dumas tale, RKO Radio's depiction of "The Three Musketeers", coming to the local Firmage theatre Sunday and Monday . For the first time the immortal swashbucklers, d'Ar- tagnan and his comrades in arms, come to the screen with sound to create complete realism. Brilliantly Bril-liantly enacted, faithfully adapted, and directed with spirit, the classic clas-sic of 17th Century intrigue realizes real-izes the full romantic flavor of the ) widly familiar novel. Swiftly I paced, the picture drives to its exciting climaxes with verve, suspense sus-pense and emotional punch, its more blustering episodes graced with lusty comedy, and its quieter moods with sentimental charm. Performances are skillfully proportioned pro-portioned to emphasize the conflict con-flict of wit and blade, love and blandishment which decides the issue between the queen of France and Cardinal Richelieu for dominance dom-inance of the King, and the reckless reck-less devotion of the four fighting cavaliers who pledged their lives with the famous slogan, "All for one, one for all." Those in the cast are Walter Abel, Paul Lukas, Margot Grahame, Heather Angel Ian Keith and others. There will be shown these nights a colored cartoon and a Universal news-reel. |
