Music and Song

“T OVE ME FOREVER,” Columbia’s second Grace Moore starring attraction, has now arrived in New Zealand and is considered by those fortunate enough to have viewed it to be a.n even greater production than "One Night of Love.” As with her previous success, a blend of thojpopular as well as the operatic form of music is presented, and to look after this aspect of the film Victor Sehertzinger, the composer of the title song “Love Me Forever,” has also written a snappy foxtrot titled “Whoa.” which is sung by Miss Moore. ' There are three leading men in “Love Me, Forever” —Leo Carillo, who prominent American film critics declare gives the performance of his career, Michael Bartlett, famous Metropolitan operatie tenor who accompanies the prima donna in a number of singing sequences, and Robert Allen. Other members of the east include many prominent screen and musical personalities such as Luis Alberni, who will be well remembered for the comedy role he so capably handled in “One Night of Love,” Gavin Gordon, Thurston Hall and many others. To'ensure that the accompanying orchestral music was in keeping with the glorious singing of the star, Columbia Pictures made an important and costly addition to the cast by engaging Merola Gaetano, the impressario of the San Francisco Opera Company, to supervise the musical sequences.
