Melody (words & music by Edward Childs Carpenter, Irving Caesar & Sig- mund Romberg; George White, producer). During a hiatus between Scandals, Producer White has turned his attention to operetta. This one is handsome, melodious, appealing to ear & eye rather than funnybone.

In the Shanghai battles of last winter against Japan, the19th Route Army, best drilled, best equipped, made a name for itself that rang around the world, but in building that name, 8,000 good soldiers died and had to be replaced by recruits. The new recruits did not drill as well, and they had ideas of their own, no part of a good soldier's equipment. The 19th Route Army is still China...
