The King Steps Out at Virginian theater review
Wilma Dodson notes Grace Moore and Franchet Tone lead a light musical romance with Herman Bing and Walter Connolly as strong supporting turns. Moore sings sparingly but charms with voice and personality while Tone stars as the emperor in a royal comedy set to Kreisler melodies. Josef Van Sternhove’s screen version offers pleasant escapism with period flair.
