"Naughty Marietta."
Numerous requests have been responsible for the revival of one of the greatest pictures in motion picture annals, "Naughty Marietta," which will commence a return season at the Paramount Theatre tomorrow. W. S. Van Dyke certainly had a big idea when he set to work on Victor Herbert's thrilling musical romance. "Naughty Marietta" is acknowledged as one of the greatest comic operas ever composed in America, and this fact has certainly proved itself when one realises how much popularity this film lias enjoyed. Jcanette Mac Donald and Nelson Eddy are magnificent, and their singing of "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" has stirred all who have heard it. Jeanette. as a princess who flees from an Old World wedding to find happiness <wHh a new lover, will be well remembered. An elaborate cast surrounds the famous singing principals, and includes Frank Morgan, Elsa Lanchester (Mrs. Charles Laugh ton), and many others.
