Weary River. Richard Barthelmess has just the kind of pleasant tenor voice that you would expect from his face. "Weary River," the theme-song of his first sound-picture, is good enough to be fairly popular. Other films about crooks, however, have had far more interesting heroes than the gangster who develops such musical talent in the prison orchestra that his girl gives him up to let him have his chance in vaudeville.

Soprano Elisabeth Rethberg as Rautendelein managed her bulk skillfully, sang difficult music easily, spent clear high notes' lavishly. But her appearance, her acting left little illusion. Nor could Giovanni Martinelli forget he was a tenor for the sake of the bellcaster. Dramatically it was Baritone Giuseppe de Luca in a minor role who served best. As Nickelmann he never once stepped out of the well, just poked up his moss-covered head, beat his webbed hands against the side. Yet when with a "Brekekekex...
