...Moonlight and Pretzels (Universal). The extraordinary thing about this musi-comedy is not that it resembles Forty-Second Street and Gold Diggers of 1933 in plot, pattern and environment; that it has the same type of dances, staged by Bobby Connolly, and the same type of songs ("Dusty Shoes'" for a finale instead of ''Forgotten Men"); or that its ingenue, Mary Brian, not only looks like Ruby Keeler but has obviously been coached to. speak in the same soft monotone. The surprising aspect of Moonlight and Pretzels is that it makes plausible Hollywood's profound conviction...
...through the gates wanders around and is lost in the hollowness of stone. People are away at the Cape or in the mountains. Between the sheds the Owl lies panting little spirals of smoke in anticipation of the long run past weary towns, isolated farm-houses pallid in the moonlight, black water sleeping in the dim aisles of forests, down through Connecticut, past exclusive suburbs, through Harlem tenaments under Park Avenue into the awakening city, cool in the gray and pink of dawn...

Then, apparently deciding to content himself with an unprecedented solo performance regardless of beating Post & Gatty, he rested in Omsk (where the others had not even landed) before heading...
...stage history, "The Student Prince," "The Prince of Pilsen," "The Red Mill," and "The Chocolate Soldier," the current attraction at the Majestic has captured a wisp of sentiment in the life of Franz Schubert, transplanted it into Vienna in April, woven around it Romberg's adaptations from the "Moonlight Sonata," "The Unfinished Symphony" and lighter tunes, and prettified the whole with gay beaus, 1820 hats, Mitzi, Fritzi, Kitzi, wine and outdoor cafes...
