David Livingstone Synopsis
Songs of France Synopsis
One of the "Famous Melody Series," with sound-on-disc, produced by James A. Fitzpatrick and distributed by Pathe Film Exchanges Inc. This one finds the usual star, Peggy Shaw, as the dancing-partner wife of an Apache dancer in an underworld dive in Paris. She is loved by a crippled violin player, whose death is caused by her husband who has thrown him down in a sub-cellar. Shaw is at his side when he dies, while her husband dances with another partner on the floor above them. Running through the films is a song played by the violinist.
"David Livingstone" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Songs of France" offers its own unique cult appeal.
