“ Sweet Music.”

\ allee is starred in “Sweet Musjc, the spectacular musical production which will be the next attraction at the Avon Theatre. This him, which is said to be better than any other picture made by V arner Brothers, who specialise in lavish screen spectacles, contains a fascinating romance studded with ciramatic moments, a feast of hilarious comedy, clever dancing and mammoth scenes. Yallee has appeared in pictures before, but never has he been given the opportunity to portray such a role, as well as sing, as that provided in “Sweet Music.” In this film he proves himself an actor as well as a singer. A new Ann Dvorak is discovered in “ Sweet Music.” Since she made a distinct hit in “ Scarface,” with Paul Muni, she has been cast only in dramatic roles, Hollywood seemingly having forgotten that* she first achieved success as a dancer and singer. She gives a fine performance opposite Yallee and demonstrates her talent as a dancer when she leads a chorus of 40 dancing beauties.
