Carlotta King was a veteran of stage operettas and comic operas when
'Jack Warner' heard her on the radio. He decided if she looked as good as she
sang, then she would play the lead in the musical
The Desert Song (1929). Indeed, the
blonde soprano's appearance was as attractive as her voice, and she
made her film debut. King was next slated for a role as 'Arthur Lake's'
girlfriend in _On With the Show (1929)_ but instead she signed with MGM in mid-1929.
She spent five months waiting for a version of "Rose Marie" that was
never filmed, and with seven months left on her contract she returned
to vaudeville.
