Show V1CT0RYTHEATRE Songs that will never die and that have delighted the world for years, becoming even increasingly popular, are to come for the first time to the talking screen (With Ernst Lubit'sch's massive production produc-tion of "The Merry Widow," which comes to the Victory Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. No musical romance has ever achieved the same world-wide popularity as "The Merry Widow." It has been played in every country and every language. The strains of the "Merry Widow Waltz" are familiar fami-liar and as loved today in Moscow as in Buenos Aires, in New York as in Peking. No light opera in history has so perfectly and permanently per-manently gripped the public. All the famous songs of the Franz Lehar masterpiece are to be heard in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's presentation, presen-tation, co-starring Maurice Chevalier Che-valier and Jeanette MacDonald. The hauntingly romantic "Vilia" is sung by Miss MacDonald, as are "Tonight Will Teach Me to Forget", For-get", "Melody of Laughter" and "Widows Are Gay." Chevalier's songs include "I's Going to Maxim's" Max-im's" and "Girls, Girls, Girls." Together To-gether Miss MacDonald and Che-I Che-I valier sing "The Merry Widow ! Waltz." A male chorus renders j "We'll Go to Cafe De Paris." In j addition, the Franz Lehar music in I its original form embellishes the ! "Can-Can" ballet at Maxim's, the Marshovian ballet, the huge Alber-; Alber-; tina Rasch waltz ballet and other spectacular details. Chevalier and Miss MacDonald head a huge cast j that includes Edward Everett Hor-ton, Hor-ton, Una Merkel, George Barbier, Minna Gombell, Ruth Channing, j Sterling Holloway, Donald Meek, : Herman Bing and others of note in I the elaborate presentation of the Lehar classic. Hundreds of gorgeously gor-geously costumed players, huge and spectacular settings, and unique effects lend fresh glamour to the picture. One of the most enthralling and spectacular screen romances of recent years will show at the Victory Vic-tory Wednesday and Thursday of next week. . This is the Fox film production, "Hell in the Heavens," starring Warner Baxter. Based on one of London's biggest stage hits, "The Ace", the new picture tells an absorbing story of death and danger in the skies above No Man's Land. Warner Baxter, daring dar-ing American flier, has but one great fear. That is the "fear of being afraid." Conchita Montenegro, Monte-negro, dashing young Spanish actress, act-ress, plays a French girl quartered in the same chateau where the American outfit wakes each day to battle. Through the love of this girl, Baxter as the hero of the story finds new courage and hope of life. Russell Hardie, striking young leading man of several recent re-cent films, has an important role as Baxter's rival for the love of the French girl. |
