Pittburgh Post Gazette, September 13, 1930Īlbert Conti, Jeannette MacDonald and Bela Lugosi Miss MacDonald is plenty vivacious and the action is amusingly punctuated by some surprise twist. Remainder of the footage is devoted to conflicts between the couple due to their different tastes and inclinations with the husband finally going away but coming back soon after via the burglar route again, for a fadeout clinch. She takes him under her wing, and after a famous teacher gives him up as hopeless she induces him to stay on as her husband. He presently turns up in the form of a burglar with a thick Irish brogue and an idea that he has a great singing voice. She has the role of a temperamental opera singer with the world at her feet but lacking the love of a man to her taste. Miss MacDonald again does a good deal of her acting from a pillowed bed, and much of the remainder in a negligee. FINE WORK BY MISS MACDONALD.Īn excellent cast works hard to put over this frothy yarn, but lack of material proves almost too much for them.
