An orchestra played under the direction of Mr. S. Adams, and fairy ballets were arranged by Miss Marjorie Turner. Muriel Gardner is only 14 years old, but she has already been launched on a career that promises to be one of the most brilliant in the history of dancing. She is the featured dancer in “Fox Movietone Follies of 1929,” the first big musical revue produced for the talking screen.
