' Gravet plays Johann Strauss, Vi- enna's waltz king, Miss Rainer 1is cast as Poldi, his wife, and Miss Kor- jus is Carla, the singer whom he adored but who sent him back to the wife who was willing to give him up for the sake of his career.

Spectacular opera sequences with stunning ballet numbers, courtroom episodes, scenes in the Vienna woods, Strauss’ debut at Dommayer’s Casino, the street riots, and a lavish ball- room scene provide spectacle for Etrauss music. ————— — POST-DISPATCH OF ST.
