Grace Moore in “May Time”
Grace Moore, the prima donna film star, has signed a contract to make another film—for Metro-Goldwyn Mayer this time.
Hei- last picture, “One Night of Love,” made for Columbia, brought about £350,000 to the box-office.
“All I know about the film at present is that it will be based on the famous operetta, ‘Maytime,’ and that Irving Thalberg will produce it,” said Sam Eckman, jun., the London chief of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. “Production will start early next S'ear.”
Miss Moore recently went to England and gained a sensational triumph at her London operatic debut at Covent Garden. Mr Eckman recalls that .Grace met her husband, Valentin Parera, in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, where he was appearing in Spanish versions for that company. They fell in love beneath the arc lamps, went to live in Spain for a year, and then came back to America, where Grace stunned the patrons of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, by the marvel of her singing.
