'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."

IPJ HEILIG FILM
"The Plough nnd the Star.'' a fic
titioiiH 6tory of the Irish "Uprusing"
of 101(3, which brings Barbara Stan
wyck and n distinguish cast to the
Ileilig theatre, has been cal'.fd "the
greatest drama of the twentieth cen
tury." i
That Is the opinion of Maxnell An
derson, one ,of America's noted pluy
wrights, whose fine appreciation of
dramatic situation and technique ia
testified by the long list of hits in
his own name, chief amoug which are
"Both Your Houses," for which he
won the 1033 I'ultizer Drama Priuc,
"Mary of Scotland" and "Winterset."
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. Ker
rigan, Boultn Granville, Erin O'Brien-
Moore, Moroni Olsen, nnd Neil Fits
gerold all have prominent parts.
for Misa Rogers' favor. 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.
