WORLD FAMOUS SINGER

NIKfl MARTIKI FOR STATE Producer Jesse L. Lasky, whose flair for eiaoorato productions nas long ueea a Hollywood oy-word, outstrips even tile most colourful of ins previous eitorts with tile array of talent, lie nas assembled for the cast of ‘ Here's to Romance,'. which > opens at the state to-morrow. With in mo IViartmi, handsome singing star of tne operatic stage and the raaio, as the central tigure of the cast, Lassy has secured IViadame scnumann-tleniK, worid-renowned concert star, Maria Gambareili, premiere danseuse, and Vincente Escudero, famous gipsy dancer, for the supporting east. These are featured with otner members of the cast, Genevieve Tobin, Anita Louise, Reginald Denny, and Adrian Rosley—already established as motion picture stars. The story of ‘ Here’s to Romance,’ is one of these delicious romantic tales about artists,; their light-hearted bohemian life, and the complications of love that are only straightened out when Martini wins Miss Louise. Although Martini sings operatic gems from ‘Tosca,’ ‘ Mauan,’. ‘ Cavalleria Rusticana,’ and ‘ Pagliacci,’ the music of the film is not confined to operatic work. Two sparkling new numbers, with music by Con Conrad, creator of ‘ Continental,’ are among the entertainment features.
