j OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY. | “THE VAGABOND KING.” | Dennis King, hailed as the talkingsinging screen’s newest apostle of ro- , manticism, is a gentleman. While J working on the production of “The Vagabond King,” at Paramount’s 1 Hollywood studio, King was asked to tell his ideal of womankind. “First of ail,” he said, “she must be a 1 blonde—that is, she must have a blonde personality. Many brunettes have it.” Nothing could have been more typically chivalrous of Dennis King, than those words. And it is well that King’s opinion is so all-in-clusive, for he is going to gain thon- , sands of admirers among the blondes and brunettes in “The Vagabond I King. ” Dennis King has a blonde leading lady, Jeanette MacDonald, dazzling charmer of Broadway musical ' comedy fame, who sang her way into ; the hearts of film enthusiasts with her splendid portrayal of the role of Queen Louise in Maurice Chevalier’s “The Love -Parade. ” “The Vagabond King” is based on the operetta of the same name, which ran for more than a season on Broadway, and will be screened to-night and Tuesday. Others in support are Warner Oland, O. P. Heggie and Lillian Roth. BLACKBALL TO-NIGHT. “ONLY THE BRAVE.” “Only the Bravo” will be screened at Blackball to-night and Tuesday.
