The Theatres
REGENT Each recent year has brought to the screen a finer type of musical picture, but these new musicals l would have a hard time surpassing "The Firefly," Metrol-Goldwyn-May-er's impressive adaptation of Rudolf Friml's memorable operetta, with Jeanette Mac Donald, Allan Jones and Warren William as the star's leading men. "The Firefly'" presents a powerful story of dramatic roniance as well as a vehicle for remarkable music. M-G-M has gone the limit in its settings and in the artistry of presentation. Lavish scenes in the High Sierras and others made on thirty massive sets present, the sweeping drama of old Spain in the period when Napoleon was defeated by Wellington at Vittoria.
