Soft focus in black & white, combined with a hint of something sparkly to create a star effect, surely does enhance Dolores' already-gorgeous appearance. Very typical of this period in the middle 1930s.
Everett Marshall's open-throated, ringing baritone sound reminds me of John Charles Thomas & Robert Weede. His voice is naturally produced, remarkably well placed, and largely free of any manufactured coloration. His diction is slightly affected and lacks the natural quality of Thomas & Weede's English diction. However, it's really refreshing after hearing too many wooley baritone sounds. In today's world he would have been pressured to convert to a dramatic tenor.
It's a shame Marshall only made two films and very few commerical recordings.He's almost completely forgotten today,but thanks to Utube he'll live on.
I would appreciate if you could tell me where and when Mr. Marshall appeared in 'Jumbo.' He was not part of the original cast nor the subsequent revival at the Texas Centennial in 1936.
He was. Per IMDB: After singing secondary baritone roles for four seasons at the Metropolitan Opera (1927 - 31, debut as the Herald in Wagner's "Lohengrin," 12 November 1927), he made his movie debut in 1930 in the original operetta "Dixiana."
Class. Beautiful. Elegant. Great orchestra, arrangement. Marshall had a wonderful voice and presence. Ms. del Rio is stunning.
We have lost our way.

How lovely =] His voice is so wonderful!
But he belongs to the 1930's and I am stocked in the 21th century... This is so wrong!
