Tiger Rose (Warner). Lenore Ulric amply proved that this weak-kneed melodrama of strong men and a siren in the Canadian Northwest was effective in the theatre. Bright-eyed little Lupe Velez lacks the finesse that Belasco taught Lenore Ulric, but makes up for it to some extent by her vivacity, her Mexican accent, and the songs she sings occasionally in a voice sharp as a cactus, shrill and toothy, but somehow attractive. Best shot: Bull Montana wiping his nose with his shirt sleeve...
South Sea Rose (Fox). As a French girl brought up in the South Seas and taken to New England by a skipper who marries her for her money, Lenore Ulric talks the same baby gutturals she used a couple of weeks ago in Frozen Justice, but the meaning of her husky drawling voice does not depend on words and is the same in any language.

Like many a young woman now earning a good living in the show business, Lenore Ulric never had much luck until she went to work for David Belasco. Her father was a steward in an army hospital in Milwaukee. She was born in New Ulm, Minn. She ran away from the 5th grade to be a cigaret girl in a stock-company Carmen. She told Belasco where she had played-Chicago, Grand Rapids, Schenectady. She had walked into the Belasco Theatre in Manhattan early one morning, answering an advertisement for supers. She looked tired and sick but she managed...
