Student Prince lacks musical color at Warren Library
The Warren Library Theater screens The Student Prince today and tomorrow. Critics note the film lacks musical depth without live chorus, despite a youthful glee club in the audience. Norma Shearer earns praise for her role, while Ramon Navarro appears miscast as the prince. Meanwhile Ziegfeld Follies on tour comes to Library Theatre May 14 featuring Ruth St Denis Ted Shawn and the Denishawn dancers with an East Indian Bazaar and Nautch showcase.
