The Cheroki | THE KINGS OFEURj Grace Moore Sings A When royalty finds itself in a musical mood, it sends for Grace Moore. Two years ago. n the occasion of his Silver Jubliee, the late King George V Summoned the opera star to come to London. The monarch had heard Miss Moore in " One Night <?t Love." and was deeply impressed with her voice. This year the diva will sin# for another George. VI. at his coronation festivities m May. Then she will proceed to Bulgaria, where she will sing for King Carol. Last year she gave command performances for the kings of Norway. Sweden and Denmark. and was decorated by each of them. Small wonder that Jellico, Tennessee. the town where Miss Moore was born, bursts with pride at every mention of her name! I It was in Jellico that Grace, whose newest Columbia picture is "When You're In Love," showing Thursday and Friday. May 27-28 at the Honn Theater, dreamed of becoming a missionary in far-off China. Her parents, conservative and religious, thought the idea an excellent one. But during Miss Moore's freshman year at Ward-Belmont seminary us Nashville, she discovered a flame that had been smoldering within her. As a child, Grace had sung solo in . hureh and also that she had not done with her vocie. It took Maiv Garden, whom Grace heard at a recital during these early Nashville days, to inspire L.r . .fv-. . ..? (TJ7ei ant t iircei". From Ward-Belmont. Miss Moore immediately went, to a noted music school in Washington, D. where she progressed so rapidly that she was shoitlv able to sing at a local concert with the celebrated baritone Giovanni Mantinelli. The cities were kind but finin; .Miss Moore, they said, still had a lot to learn. The aspiring star's n. \t step was New York City, land of hopefuls. There she eked out an existence singing in a tiny Greenwich Village night club. One evening she opened her mouth to sing and nothing happened. She had lost her voice. Friends advised the frantic young girl to visit Dr. Marafiotti the great voice coach. At first the important man refused to see Grace, hut she persisted and finally won. Not only did Dr. Marafiotti cure Miss Moore's throat aliment but he consented to teach her frum that time on. If Grace Moore ever evolves a coat-of-arms for herself, she should certainly see that a turkey is rcpreented. For that delectable fowl was in a measure responsible for the diva's start in the theatre. Miss Moore was understudying .Julia Sanderson in "Ilitchy-Koo" when Thanksp-ivinnr rnlkwl ??? ??.?< I and Miss Sanderson indulged in out? helping of turkey too many. She was unable to appear for her performance, j and Grace went into the leading role. I She did so well that she was subsequently cast as the leeading soprano I of "IIn in the Clouds." While in Paris, Miss Moore met Irving Berlin, who persuaded the singer to return to New York for an important part in his "Music Box Revue of 1923." She remained with the show for three successive annual ' ditiosn. By that time she felt ready j for a joust with the Metropolitan, and i so stormed the gates. She was turned 1 down. } But the guiding geniuses of the ! Metropolitan had reckoned without Miss Moore's determination. She went | J to Kurope for further v ice culture. Jin Italy. Grace met her childhood j idol Mary Garden who gave the young girl some good advice and aided her in obtaining Kuropean engagements. Miss Garden by the way. acted as "honorary technical adviser" on the *'I*a Tosca" scenes of Miss Moore's new film. One evening Grace sang i_ La Boheme" in Mila while Gatti-Cazazza, then the director of the Metropolitan Opera, was in the audience, ami he signed her to a contract. She made her New York debut in "La Boheme," still her favorite opera, or. February, 7, 1928. Grace Moore had arrived. She appeared in operattas and concerts between her opera engagements. and then Hollywood made itself heard. Miss Moore made a few films during the infancy of talkies, but they were not popular success. It was not until she was signed to a Columbia contract in 1934 and emerged in "One Night, of Love" did she capture the screen. "Love Me Forever" and "The King Steps Out" were the other highly popular Columbia films Miss Moroe has made since "One Night of love." "When You're In Love," her current vehicle, is said to be her most sucl cessful to date. ee Scout, Murphy, North C )PE CHEER THE LITT1 LLICO WHO WON THE gain At Gala Coronation < SWINGS IT WI1 mkK^b * ' v' | RpVP sm $?
