Dick Powell’s current film fea-
tures several song*—but the actor,
who turned his back on musical
comedy rolea in favor of highly
dramatic parts, doesn’t aing any
of them. They are vocalised by
Marta Toren, lovely Swedish dis-
covery, who made her American
debut in “Caabah,”
The picture wi£h the lum-about
situation is “Rogues’ Regiment,”
which will open Tuesday at' the
Majestic Theatre. An exetting ad-
venture story about the activities
of the French Foreign Legion in
Indo-China. It stars Vincent Price,
in addition to Powell and Mias
Toren.
From the time that Powell made
his screen debut 10 years 'ago in
"Blessed Event," he era* ‘‘typed’’
as a musical comedy crooner. His
initial success was followed up
with 24 more musicals, including
such hits as “42nd Street”, “Gold-
digger* of 1953”, “Wonder B«".
“Twerttv Million Sweethearts” and
“Flirtation Walk”.
Then, four years ago, Dick de-
cided that things had gone far
enough, and the time had come to
break with musicals. Turning to
sti sight, dramatic parts, his initial
“tough guy’’ portrayal in “Mur-
der, My Sweet” established him as
a dramatic actor. ■
