The newsreel has learned of the Harvard Forest studios as soon...
Shubert's music is the real backbone to "Blossom Time," and his music alone is enough to satisfy an audience. The singing of George Trabert and Diana Gaylen, particularly their duets, send one from the theatre humming those old melodies still pleasant to the ear. This is, perhaps, the last revival of "Blossom Time"; its day is past. Before it wings into the blue, we suggest that you see it. It still pleases...
