‘NIGHT MUST FALL’ STARS

RUSSELL-MOHTGOMERY TRIUMPH Teaming Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell for the third time,i with Robert Benchley featured in one of his funniest characterisations, and with Helen Vinson as the “ other woman,” the new M-G-M romantic comedy, ‘ Live, Love, and Learn,’ will commence to-morrow at the Empire. Placed largely in the colourful atmosphere of Greenwich Village’s Bohemian art colony, ‘ Live, Love, and Learn ’ develops a sparkling story of the married life of a penniless artist and the girl who forsook wealth and society to marry him. In abrupt contrast to the prim scenes of ‘ Night Must Fall,’ their most recent teaming triumph, the settings of ‘ Live, Love, and Learn ’ are faithful reproductions of Greenwich Village. The role of “ Julie,” Montgomery’s wife, is said to offer Rosalind Russell a telling opportunity to display the talents for which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer recently accorded her stardom. The distinguished cast of ‘ Live, Love, and Learn ’ is headed by the inimitable Benchley and the glamorous Miss ViUson. Other players include Mickey Rooney, Mony Woolley, E. E. Clive, Charles Judels, Maude Eburne, Harlan Briggs, June Clayworth - , and A 1 Shean. Entailing a lavishness seldom before matched in pictures of this type, magnificent salons contrast with shabby artists’ quarters in ‘ Live, Love, and Learn,’ providing a perfect background for the comedy and melodrama of the picture. The new photoplay was directed by George Fitzmaurice, who has innumerable picture successes to his credit.
