ROXY
“THE MAN I LOVE” Audiences who saw “The Man I Love,” the latest Paramount all-talk-ing picture, at the Roxy Theatre again on Saturday, were electrified with the fire and verve of screendom’s most lovable couple, Richard Arlen and Mary Brian. They talk, Miss Brian sings and they act the catchy, adventurous drama with delightful abandon and force. A superb cast, including Baclanova, Harry Green and. Jack Oakie, assist the principals. It is the first time that the screen has recorded the voices of Arlen and Miss Brian and their tonal charm equals their personalities. They aro delightful. Miss Brian sings the theme song, “Celia,” with great effect and the incidental sounds and excitement are sure-fire. “The Man I Love” is romance in words, song and, particularly, action. Several bright all-talking items were presented on the supporting programme. There are the latest Paramount Sound Gazette, songs by Lillian Roth and her piano boys, a cartoon, and an uproarious all-talking two-reel Christie comedy.
