'April Blossoms New Musical, Soon at Rex When "April Blossoms," now mus ical romanco starring the celebrated ttnor, Itiehnrd Tnuber, opens Wednes day at the Ilex theatre, film audi ences will witness in it nn incident from thb secret love life of Franz Schubert, the immortal composer whose career serves as a plot motif of the new photoplay. There has been much speculation ia to why Schubert, intensely suscept ible to feminine cluinn, never married. The truth is that hn Inst the one wtmnn in his life with whom ho was really in love, Theresa Groh was a fascinating girl; she was not a beauty. Hit had enormous personnl charm and vitality. In IS-1 she was married against her own will to it man chosen for her by her father. She never told Schu bert how much bhn was in love with him and be fett that she had turned hint down been use ho was poor. At tho time of her marrinfte Schu bert was the local choir master and conductor of tho church music. Dur ing the wedding ceormony he was ;illcd upon, in his professional capac ity, to sing nnd play. He did it, but iifterwards expressed himself very bitterly, baying, "Women cannot love; they can only play with men."

And it Is the opinion of many critics in many countries thnt Sean O'Cnsey, author of "The Plough and the Stars," stands out as one of the 'great play wrights of the post-world war period. An Irishman born nnd bred, who lived through the terrors which the film depicts, Sean O'Cnsey litis risen high for his ability to blend the humor and the tragedy of Gael and Ireland r.s no other writer can. 'The Plough and the Star?" dis- plays this ability at its most brilliant peak, and the screen irsion. as di rected by John Ford, winner of the Academy nwnrd for his work on "The Informer," is said to give film-goers an entirely new slant on Iri?h humor, while driving home a moving story of tragedy-threatened romance in strife torn Dublin. The cast of "The Plough and the Stars," which takes its title from the emblem on the flng of the Irish Civ ilian Army, features Preston Foster rnd Una O'Conor in support of Bar bara Manwyck. Barry Fitrgerald, Denis O Den, Eileen Crowe, Arthur Shields, F. J. McCormick, J. M.

Trie Blore, who gained a legion of fans aa a re sult of bis splendid laugh-making is previous Astaire-Rogers shows, offers a comic characteriiation in "Swing Time." Jerome Kern scored "Swing Time," providing "The Way Sou Look To night," "A B'ine Romance," "Pick Vourself Up," "Never Gonna Dance," "Bojnngles of Harlem" and "The Waits in Swing Time," the filling dnnce spectacle treats in the picture. Dorothy Fields is responsible for the lyrics for these numbers.
