THERE'S EYEFUL, EARFUL IN TUNEFUL TALKIE SPECTACLE. 1 'MARRIED IN HOLLYWOOD." Bringing something entirely new hi screen entertainment, - the oponing of ' ' Married in Hollywood/ at the King George Theatre Wednesday is heralded aa a delightful, tuneful, laughful sutprise for local audiences. , T&i&\ Viennese song romance, the fir;-;; eygr written directly for the talking pictures, embodies' many novelties in bofth theme and execution which make it-one, of the distinctive productions of tie year. Opening with a spectacular view of the great Viennese Opera house the. picture sweeps rapidly iutc- its col. earful romantic theme of the love affair between an American singer and a Balkan prince. Delicious comedy tofaches are woven, throughout the story, from the rirst meeting between the girl and the prince until the final fadeout. This meeting is handled in an unsual manner, and the brilliant Oscar Straus and Dave Stamper tunes are cleverly intersporso-1 throughout the entire Viennese sequnac.. Despite tho opposition to the love atfair on the part of the prince 's family, things are progressing swiftly betiween tbe young couple until the prince is kidnapped and a revolution breaks out ia the- Balkans. Through political i»fiuottce& the singer loses her position and returns to America not knowing that her royal lover is also-fleeing to the same ihavon. By means of a shipboard concert, the siager'.attracts the attention 'of a film magnate, who puts her into the movies oxx. her arrival: in Hollywood. Oddly enoaghy. her: first role is very similar to thec:.pne;.she actually played in Vienna, bat the- :<<prince?' cast for the opposite part ptpves unsatisfactory, and then—■ wsL^-*we can't spoil the story by revealing the en'ding:hefeV-but.don't fail to. find, it out for yourself.
