Nine Days in Swing.
It’s a good thing that Irene Dunne likes to swing. In one of the song ■numbers in “Sweet Adeline, ’ thp Warner Bros, musical which opens a twdr'iU£jlit season aft the Opera House on SUtitrday, she swings as she sings ‘ and she spent nine days doing it—including rehearsals. The number is called “We Were So Young,’’ and ife staged in a great field of daisies. In the foreground, suspended from an old tree, is the, swing in which Miss Dunne sits.' In the background, fifty girls, also in swings, execute a series of rhythmic figures. The song that Miss Dunne, sings in this number was written especially by Jerome Kern for the screen version of “Sweet Adeline,” as was “Lonely Feet,” another of Miss Dunne’s songs.
