THE REGENT
“I’LL TAKE ROMANCE.” On the golden voice of Miss Grace Moore, the world’s critics have lavished showers of praise. Now, with Melvyn Douglas, she will captivate her millions of admirers anew in a musical romance that surpasses her previous triumphs. Selecting her numbers from grand opera, swing music and novelty tunes, Grace Moore offers her most diversified musical programme in her new Columbia comedy, “I’ll Take Romance,” which will be shown today-at the Regent Theatre. Melvyn Douglas appears opposite her, with Stuart Erwin and Helen Wesley in support. From opera, Miss Moore sings the Gavotte from “Manon,” the Drinking Song from “Traviata,” the finale from the the third act of “Martha,” and the duet from “Madame Butterfly,” which she sings with Frank Forrest, sensational young tenor. But she sings, too, in company with Erwin and Douglas, the hill-billy ditty, “She’ll -be Cornin’ Round the Mountain,” and leads the revellers in a gay cafe as they sing that French music hall favourite, “Paree.” The theme song, “I’ll Take Romance,” was written for Miss Moore by Ben Oakland and Oscar Hemmerstein 11.
