PARAMOUNT THEATRE

“Rose Marie” The film version of “Rose Marie,” with Nelson Eddie and Jeanette MacDonald began a return season at the New Paramount Theatre yesterday. One of the

most valuable of theatre properties, “Rose Marie” has been known the world over for more than a dozen years. But, with the two stars excelling themselves, the film has become something the stage version could never hope to approach. Further-J more. it. was filmed

more, it was niineu almost entirely out of doors, in the gorgeous mountain lake settings of the Sierra Nevadas. Such world-famous songs as “The Indian Love Call,” “Rose Marie,” “Song of the Mounties,” and “Pardon Me, Madame,” are sung against the majesty of glimmering lakes, tall pines and superb mountain vistas. The Totem Pole number alone sets a new high standard in phonographic beauty and screen entertainment. Filmed at Emerald Bay, on Lake Tahoe, scenic spot of America, peopled with more than 700 Indians, in a setting of towering grotesque totem poles, it is as spectacular as it is rhythmic. Briefly, “Rose Marie” is the story of an opera star who, travelling incognito through the North Woods in search of her brother, an outlaw, falls in love with the North-West “Mountie” whose inflexible job is to capture the criminal.
