Rise Stevens And . Nelson Eddy Score In: Lively Musical

A brilliant singing star makes i191‘ debut as a motion picture star to- day at the Prince Edward Theatre in Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayeus “The Chocolate Soldier," and the result is something to talk about. She is Rise Stevens, Metropolitan opei-ii star. who appears opposite Nelson Eddy.

Glamorous, and blessed with a voice seldom heard on the screen. Miss Stevens merges as a. captive.»- ing personality who not only can sing but can act as well.

The story casts Eddy and Miss Stevens as the musical comedy toasts of Vienna, whose hamm- scarum marital life is caused by Eddyls pathological jealousy of his wife. Reaching an unbearable point in their lives together, Eddy ma:- querades as a Russian singer and sets out to make love to his own wife as his own rival.

Parade of Songs

Miss Stevens’ rlch voice is heard in such selections as ‘Gypsy Cafe." “The Trout" and an aria from the original French version of “Car- men." Eddy‘; solos include “While My Lady Sleeps" and "Song of the Flea," while the stars together sing "My Hero," "Evening Star,” "Seek the Spy." "The Presentation," “Chocolate Soldier" and the Finale.

Eddy and Miss Stevens have an excellent supporting cast, including Nigel Bruce, as the music critic and close friend and confident oi Eddy. Florence Bales as Miss Stevens’ voice coat-ii and antagonist of Eddy. Nydia Westmnii as Miss Stevens‘ maid, Charles Judcls as the Russian cnfe otvucr, Dorothy Gllcv. ' as Madge, a flirtatious member of “The Chocolate Soldier" company. and a host of others Jncludlng dancers.

ST. JAMES CHURCH

Preaching yesterday morning on the subject of “Religion and the Home" the Minister, the Rev. T. H. Bussell Somers, MA, S.T.M., basing his remarks on Dent. 6:6, 7. 9. said, in part, “It, is now gen- erally agreed among pedagogues that a life situation is the best st-ttlng for any education. The sit- uations in a school are ‘construct- ed’ usually, and, therefore, in part, artificial. The situations in a home may also be ‘prepared’ (if parents prepare, as they should for a homer. but they are yet natural‘. The problem of other races is in- carnate in the foreigner who vis- its the home. World affairs arise for discussion through the news broadcasts that come into the home. The question of manners or of generosity and greed, or of the clash of opinion comes almost inevitably at the dinner table. The art and adventure of living to- gether and the need that the strong shall carry the burdens of the weak are what the scientists call ‘constants’ in a home Prayer is a native mood in a home in the quiet at the day's end. The like- lihood is that if real relgilon ls not. taught and caught in the home it will never be elsewhere. when re- ligion is once more allowed to hal- low thc-home, worship will have a new glow, preaching a new grip, religious education a new birth and our bloodshot world a new health and hope."

In the evening the sermon was based on St. Paul's words "Herein do 1 exercise myself to have a conscience void of offense toward God and toward man." (Acts 24: 16>. The music at both services was of i1 very high order under the capable direction of the Church Organist and Director of the Chorlsters, Miss Lillian MacKenzie. Mus. Bac.
