Most of the exteriors were taken at Lugano, and these scenes are magnificiently photographed. These beautiful open-air scenes play a big part in the picture, and Kiepura’s voice, singing in the open, creates a deep impression. Sonnie Hale, who plays one of the principal roles, is undoubtedly a British find as he photographs well and acts with a spontaneity that Is refreshing. There is an excellent array of supports, including a Mickey Mouse cartoon. The St. Joseph’s Old Girls’ Basketball Club will hold its annual dance on Monday, June 4.
