One might well think that the first effort would be in the nature of an experiment, but Warner Brothers had already brought the Vitaphone to such a state of perfection that they apparently encountered no difficulty in transferring “The Des- ert Song” with all its dialogue and all its songs and all its magnificent choruses, to the screen. Their confidence born of long experience in the talking picture field, was Justified. The all-star cast of “The Desert Song,” which was directed by Roy Del Ruth, includes John Boles, Car- lotta King, Louise Fazenda, Myrna Loy, John Miljan, Johnny Arthur, under the auspices of Alford John Bradford Post No. 4 of the Ameri-| can Legion.
