AMUSEMENTS. ‘Maytime’ Returns as Film With Its Luster Undlmmed Eddy-MacDonald Combination Gives NeW‘ Life to a Different Version of Romberg | Operetta at Loew’s Palace. BY JAY CARMODY. | PERETTA never looked lovelier than it does in “Maytime.” Nor, with | the exception of a couple of bobbles in the machinery, has it ever sounded better. M-G-M spent lavishly of its talent, its time and its cash to make the big musical picture, which opened yesterday at the Palace. It intended to road show the film at reserved seat prices, but finally ended up by making it a swell bargain at the usual rates. That is going to be quite all right with a<— - lot of people; and wrong with none unless some stockholder wants to get nasty. The “Maytime” The singing stars of “Maytime” get no end of assistance in putting over the drama from that old tower of of 1937 is not the strengh, John Barrymore. There have one of prewar days. It is a better been evidences recently of a slight sag one, however, in most respects.

It is the theme of the piece, however, and sung memorably by Jeannette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. As for the remainder of the music, it makes no compromise with the idea that the masses will not lend their ears to that which is too fine The old bitt weetness hangs over the new model of “Maytime.” It deals with the fate of an opera star, who placed carcer and gratitude to her teacher before love, found both of them hollow, and lived to rue the day that she p: glory destiny had offered Miss MacDonald, of course, opera singer and Eddy, the man whose love she rejected. They have teamed up in this sort of thing before, but never more cffectively. Eddy, whose acting once was such that he seemed like a phonograph made in the image of a man, steps out in this is the ssed up the quicter | pressed by brother Lionel, thing is okeh again. “A thing of sinister charm—if there is such a thing—is Mr. Barrymore’s | portrayal of the music teacher who starts out with love in his heart and ends up with blood on his hands. The tenderness of his feelin for Miss MacDonald exists always in the brood- ing shadow of disaster, giving it a quality of fascination that is quite a tribute to the deftness of the erstwhile handsome Hamlet. R 'T'HE comedy of “Maytime” is en- trusted to the burr-like vocal chords of Herman Bing. Charles Ju- dels helps out with a bit part in which he plays the coachman who brings Miss MacDonald and Eddy together. It is a pretty happy moment when he chases his run-away horse shouting, Tommy, I'm mad at you.” Unde: statement rarely scales such a Herbert Stothart is responsible Inr issue, strike activity in Detroit, a ship | fire with the attendant rescue.
