Here's To Romance

This was tenor Martini's screen debut, and it is evident that he should have been singing instead of reading his lines. He's struggling to sing at the Metropolitan Opera House, and society matron Tobin wants to help him reach his goal. She also would like him to be her beau. This causes problems between Martini and his girl friend, Louise. Martini reaches his goal, but, by that time, the audience is asleep. Songs include, "Midnight In Paris," "Here's To Romance," "I Carry You In My Pocket" (Herb Magidson, Con Conrad), and operatic excerpts from Pietro Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana," Ruggiero Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci," Giacomo Puccini's "Tosca," and Frederic Mass...
