Franz Rainer's "Fourteen Tyroleans" go
through what is supposed to be the customary
wedding ceremony of the Bavarian
Mountain districts. It consists largely of
singing and dancing and not a little beer
drinking. The singers, six men and eight
women, in the native costumes make a
pretty picture and the singing, entirely of
the "yodle" character, pleasing.
The songs are all
rendered in foreign tongue with one exception,
and to hold to the atmosphere,
this one should be dropped. It is hardly
fitting for a crowd of Bavarian mountaineers
to break forth with much feeling into
"My Old Kentucky Home."
