CRYSTAL PALACE, MT. EDEN
“THE SHOP WORN ANGEL”
Pretty Xancy Carroll, the Paramount star, is seen and heard singing a catchy love melody in the Paramount sound picture, “The Shopworn Angel,” coming to the Crystal Palace Theatre, Mt. Eden, today. The song is “A Precious Little Thing Called Love," and is made full of life by the little star. “The Shopworn Angel” tells a story of a soldier boy who wins the heart of a Broadway Follies girl against a struggle of tragedy. All of the sound effects of rehearsals of a big musical comedy show behind the scenes are included in the synchronisation. The music score, rendered by an SO-piece orchestra, is magnificent. One entire reel of the picture is in dialogue centred round the marriage scene. The minister, as well as Gary Cooper and Xancy Carroll, are heard speaking in the sequences. Hoscoe Kams, the stage manager in the picture, is also heard in some good comedy laughs. Music from a full military band is also featured in the scenes showing Gary Cooper off to war. The remainder of the Crystal Palace programme will include short talking and singing features.
