It is bigtime entertainment. Packed with good mpsic and singing, & more creditable story than most musicals and impressive with generous production by Uni- versal-International, the picture is | an unfailing delight from opening to final fadeout. The story, which has Miss Durbin | and her father, played ty the Irishz newcomer Albert Sharpe, arriving| in this country from Ireland and falling into the hands of old New York’s infamous Boss Tweed polit- ical machine, pemits the presenta- tion of musical numbers composed by Sigmund Romberg and Dorothy Fields. These are of widely varied content, ranging from a patriotic solo, “Oh Say Can You See What I See?” by Miss Durbin to the novelty number. Dick Haymes plays a crusading reporter for the New York Times, whose pitiless publicity wrecks | Tweed, played by Price, who is Haymes' rival for Miss Durbin’s affections. Deanna sparkles brightly as the ingenuous colleen with operatic ambitions. In addition to other numbers, she sings the operatic selection, “Pace, Pace, Dio Mio," from Verdi which gives full range to her increasing vocal talents. Oregome Is Winner Over U.
