ROXY
“THE MELODY MAN”
Just as the melodies created by the music masters have been, immortalised and handed down from generation to generation, so the new Columbia alltalkie, “The Melody Man,” now at the Roxy Theatre, will dwell in the memory long after thoughts of other films have faded and died.
“The Melody Man” is not only an artistic triumph, but it ia a refreshing change from the many machine-made talkies which have made their appearance recently. The plot has been built around the actual conflict that is being waged between the musical classics and the music of we moderns, ivliicli is jazz. Of course, talkie producers are forced to cater for all shades of humanity. In
“The Melody Man” the Columbia Company has done this so well that the classical music lover, when watering the picture, finds that lie can tolerate jazz, and vice versa. The Roxy’s programme also comprises a number of talkie featurettes
William Haines prizes his collection of pewters, but still more does he prize his leather coat. It was brought from Europe by Ramon Novarro, and Haines prays for rain so he’ll have an excuse for wearing it.
