THE REGENT.
“MAYTIME” With Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy in the leading roles, “Maytime” is enjoying a popular run at the Regent. The famous song hit of the
original stage play, “Sweetheart, Will Your Remember?” was retained for the film version, with the remainder of the music divided between the sentimental and operatic. Miss MacDonald sings two complete operatic arias and portions of others. Eddy has three novelty songs, “Students’ Drinking Song,” “Vive L’Opera” and “Virginia Ham and Eggs.” All are done with chorus, with the last number sung through the streets of Paris with hundreds of singers joining in nonsensical lyrics about ham and eggs to the tune of familiar operatic melodies. Together, the two stars sing an American folksong for the first time, the touching “Carry Me Back To Old Virginny.” “Maytime” will be screened nightly until Friday next with a matinee on Wednesday at 2.15 p.m. Seats may be reserved at Perry’s, ’phone 2496.
