Seven Laurence Tibbctt Makes His Talkie Debut in 'The Rogue Song a Musical Film Romance of Not Much Other Importance With Lawrence Ttbbett the personable Metropolitan Opera baritone. POX presents Supreme Song Sensation Smash Successes! "SUNNY DBJE UP" JANET GAYNOR CHARLES FARRELL El Brendel Emmerich Redman's Operetta With Mitxi at Its Star, Comes Back to Charm a New Broadway Audience "Sari," one of the melodic treasures of some 18 years ago, came back last night to the Liberty Theater, where at that time It began life in America and revived memories of days when musical comedies were romantic In a manner more mellow than that of today and were called operettas. Operettas are quite old-fashioned now. They were actually operas In the lightest vein, and the contemporary musical entertainment by contrast Is an almost entirely new form. So "Sari" is charming.

It brings back those admired melodies, "Ha-Za-Za," "My Faithful Stradivari." "Follow Me," "Love's Own Sweet Song," airs that wore channels in the minds of 16 years ago, airs that slip Into those channels again now so soon as their first notes are played. And it brings back Mitzi. 'v One of the pleasantest features of this revival of the old delighting making his talking picture debut In Its leading male role, with its libretto and most of its tunes borrowed from the operetta "Gypsy Love" and Its scenes mounted in Technicolor, "The Rogue Song" took up Its stand- on the screen of the Astor Theater last night Its producers Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer choose to label "The Rogue Song" neither opera, light opera, operetta, nor yet musical comedy, preferring to term it a romantic film with music A romantic film it is quite obviously, and there are any number of musical interludes too. But Its romance is of a kind that has, or should have, gone out of style years ago (It's about EXTRA!

The last time she appeared In something with music, a cheap nothing up at the windy Cosmopolitan Theater, she seemed past saving.

All the impish graces that once were hers had, apparently, got themselves transformed Into a kind of obvious, Broadway low-comedy. She was hard and aggressive. Now she has gone back to her charms, to depending upon them rather than upon the more muscular means of amusing. Last night, therefore, she seemed as sure and easy as ever she did before, a bouncing, effortless, antic little person, as young as ever, or almost, even if somewhat thicker through the middle an actress with talents the legitimate usj of which once more gave her too much pleasure to permit of her abusing them. She has staged the revival herself, Albertlna Rasch taking care ot the dances, which roused enthusiasm at the premiere, as Albertlna Ranch's dancing girls usually do.

They have a Oypsy air if not always a Gypsy lightness of foot, a Gypsy orchestra adds color to the sound of "Sari" and Willy Pogany's settings and costumes tickle the eye. And last night's audience showed an unmistakable warmth, though It might have been prompted partly by a sentiment other audiences with memories less vivid cannot experienced A cheery warmth it was, nevertheless. In "Sari's" day operetta was still beloved. Today that form of entertainment dwells too long upon sentiment and upon plot to be altogether satisfying to those brought up on entertainments swifter and noisier.

Song of Lore: Trlile Prlsanrn ths bandit chieftain who the princess off to his mountain hideaway), and its muslo is several thick cuts below brilliance. Frankly, "The Rogue Song" is hardly a composition ot such merit as to deserve the distinction ot serving as Mr. Tlbbett's first vehicle before the movie microphones.

And this is in many ways a shame. For in Lawrence Tibbett the audible screen has undoubtedly Inherited one of the most brilliant of the operatic stars. A baritone rich and vigorous ot voice, an actor dashing enough In appearance to measure up to all the requirements of the cinema leading man, Mr. Tibbett strides and sings through his role In "The Rogue Song" with fine lmpresslveness. It is all the more unfortunate, therefore, that the character he Is asked to portray is so Incredible and the lines and the libretto so absurd that one begins to lose Interest in the proceedings before the picture is very old.

Now, the story of the bold Russian bandit who carried off the fair Princess Vera to his camp In the Caucasian Mountains because the princess', brother had seduced the bandit's favorite sister might have done very nicely as the groundwork for an opera. Such an elementary and old-fashioned plot however, is likely to seem a little ridiculous in a medium which calls for drama of more ntelllgent and Imaginative construction. It Is the sort ot thing that reached its high level in "The Sheik" (although Mr. Barrymore was not above giving It another twist in "General But now, with a hero who pours out his love In recurrent outbursts ot song-well. It just doesn't seem to fit into the movie pattern.

In grand opera, yes The talkie debut of Mr. Tibbett Is not helped by a production that depends too much upon papier-mache reproductions of Caucasian mountain scenes for Its backgrounds. Photographed in natural colors, the artificiality of these settings is sometimes made painfully apparent, giving the production the appearance ot a gaudily mounted musical comedy. A ballet incident in the Countess Tatlana's palace, photographed against a flower-bedecked, painted backdrop, strengthens this impression. While Mr.

Tlbbett's performance individually impressive, his sup' porting cast is a sadly weak and colorless one. Catherine Dale Owen Is a wholly negative heroine, who hasn't much to do but flutter her eyelids and pose becomingly while thunders love ballads Into her ear. Judith Vosselll gives an exaggeratea portrayal of the fe. male menace (the Countess Tatl- ana) and Ullrich Haupt offers a brief out terribly melodramatic interpre tation oi tne dastardly Prince Seree. Concerning the so-called comedy relief furnished by the team of Laurel and Hardy, the less said the better.

It is a slapstick style of humor, heavy-handed and oftm vulgar, and has no conceivable place in the production. Not that "The Rogue Song" might have been rruch better without it Fill-Me-In Answer Answer on Theater Page. Today's solution: XRAY. BRAY. BRAT, BOAT.
