REGENT THEATRE
“SONG OF SCHEHERAZADE” Friday, Saturday. Monday. In “Song of Scheherazade,” audiences will hear Yvonne De Carlo speak for the first time without an Accent. The actress played a Viennese in her debut as a film leading lady in “Salome, Where She Danced.” Then, in “Frontier Gal,” Universal-Interna-tional thought her character of a gambling house owner would register better with a “foreign accent.” So she assumed one.
“I thought I was going to get an accent again in ‘Song of Scheherazade’, because I play a Spanish girl,” she said. “But Director Walter Reisch decided that, with the picture full of Russians and Spaniards, the accents would be too much for audiences. So we all spoke without accent.” Miss De Carlo is starred with Brian Donlevy and Jean Pierre Aumont in the Technicolour musical extravaganza, a gay adventure in the early life of the great Russian composer, Rimsky-Korsakoff.
