Deere Wiman, producer). If Johann Strauss was looking down last week from his waltz-heaven he was probably scandalized at the way little Helen Ford (Dearest Enemy) laced herself into a high old-fashioned corset, powdered herself suggestively and came forth to pipe his pet coloratura aria with comically fluttering eyelids and exaggerated soubrette wiggles. But these things supplied the few bright intervals in this latest of many versions of Die Fledermaus. The plot is the same old one : a rich, stuffy Viennese (Tenor George Meader), sentenced to a week in jail, first takes an evening off, goes...
...interesting material for a study of the times." The tutor idly leafed a copy of "Dichtung und Wahreit" which belonged to the bedraggled sycophant. "Just as these strange inscriptions will interest the historians of two thousand years from now. From this flyleaf they will reconstruct a picture of Professor "Waltz," smoking an unusual under-slung pipe and wearing a hat as he lectures on the Sesenheim idyll.

I.) studio which has been unused for two years...
...series of richly comic episodes wins the girl whom the baron intended for himself. Arabella follows Der Rosenkavalier in many of its details. The impecunious old Count puts on a drinking act as blatant if not half so funny as old Baron Ochs's. A richly-scored waltz dominates the second act, laid at a coachmen's ball. Rosenkavalier airs sprinkle the Arabella score...
