TOWN HALL TALKIES

“VIENNESE NIGHTS.” To-MORROW NIGHT. “Viennese Nights” is the creation of Sigmund Romberg and Orcar Hammerstein 11, the two who have created more glamorous and melodious entertainment than any living collaborators. The story is one of exquisite tenderness, the theme being the deathlessness of beauty. The settings are gorgeous, being all in natural colours. The glamor of old Vienna, told so often in story and song, is caught with stirring vitality. Marching troups, gay ladies, street gamins, stout burghers, ample fraus, all seen in the flickering golden light of_ leaves blowing, horses bearing ancient vehicles, crowded with gay roysterers, all are there. But this is but the beginning of the haunting story of love and renunciation. The action covers a period of jiffy years and some of the scenes are in New York, back to Vienna for the thrilling and unexpected climax. The story is built about the fate of a girl who falls in love with a poor musician but is forced to marry a rich officer by her ambitious father. Through povertv and exile the poor man works despcratelv, trying to finish the symphony which is to be dedicated to her and it is the grandchildren of the two who find the realisation of the lost dream. Those who know Romberg and Hammerstein, and who does not, will be able to faintly visualise this last and greatest work of their united genius. “Viennese Nights,” is a Vitaphoue romance in Technicolor. Creation of Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein. If. Directed by AlanCrosland. Cast includes Walter Pidgeon, Jean Hersholt, Vivienne Segal, Alexander Gray, Louise Fazenda, Alice Day. Bert Roach, June Pursell and Milton Douglas.

THE WOULD MOVES ON.”

SHOWING NEXT SATURDAY

Where are we, going? Whither

wending? Step by stop! . . Mile by Mile! . . . Year after year I , .A billion people reaching for hope! A billion lovers lifting their voices to heaven, even as this woman and this man did in ‘‘The World Moves on,” the love story of a century in which Madeleine Carroll and Franchot Tone are partnered. Surely a man is safe from the world when lie is held close to the heart of a good woman, for the world about them cannot crumble so long as it cannot crush the love of such a woman. Their love can be your love, their fear your fear, their hope your hope. Town Hall, next Saturday.
