THE BEGGAR STUDENT

FASCINATING TALE DEPICTING OLD VIENNA. ROLLICKING CHORUSES. ' The fascinating, sparkling charm possessed by old Vienna is exemplified j in the latest British Dominions' film I to emerge from the English studios of this progressive film company, in ; the shape of "The Beggar Student," ; the Viennese operetta which has ! charmed millions with its appealing | music, rollieking choruses and catchy tunes. j The modern version of this famed operetta will open on Thursday at the l Majestic Thehtre, and patrons of this theatre are warned that if they miss the production they will have missed the movie classic of 1932, as, on ac1 count of its immensity and the enormous expense incurred in gathering | such a large band of famous artists ( together can never be hoped to be re- ] peated. ! An immense cast of stage and screen celebrities includes Lance Fairfax, the charming "Bsd Shadow" who appeared in the musicale, "The Desert Song," which had a successful season here not so long ago, and who oce'upies the stellar role as Carl Romaine, "The Beggar Student." His

voice is a revelation as far as the sound screen is concerned, and its like has never befcre becn equalled here by stars who have visited our shores per stage or screen. Shirley Dale, beau- j tiful operatic star, who p'ossesses ' looks plus a personality that makes > her the finishc-d artiste for such a role as she is allotted in this production is the feminine lead; Mark Daly as the j singing sergeent, with Jerry. Varno, I supplies the lighter vein without which no film is complete.
