Delightful Musical Romance
“MONTE CARLO”
Everyone who remembers “The Love Parade,” and who does not, knows the intimate touches, the deft subleties, the delightful humour that was sprinkled throughout that picture, a tribute to the directing genius of Ernst Lubitsch. And now this famous German director has made another charming musical romance. With the hot spot of Europe, society’s playground, Monte Carlo, with its fascinating people and gaming, and its, sophistication, it forms an ideal background for the romanco that Lubitsch unfolds. Here’s the intimate romance that one expects "with, such a background. A beautiful Countess running from her marriage at the last moment, playing and risking her fortune at the gaming tables and losing. Into her life comes a hairdresser. What a maii and love and romance. But her position, her station in life, rebels against it, while her heart thunders its surrender. What an intimate romance, and then fate takes a hand. Oh' yes, you’ll be interested to know how this romance finishes, and you’ll see it in Ernst Lubitsch ’3 new Paramount picture, “Monte Carlo”, which comes to the Begent on Saturday. Jeanette MacDonald is the lady in distress, and Jack Buchanan... the man. A cast, of wcllknown’••players is seen in support.
