Lord Byron of Broadway

Lord Byron of Broadway 1930, also known as What Price Melody?, is an American PreCode musical drama film, directed by Harry Beaumont and William Nigh. It was based on a best selling book by Nell Martin, which was widely praised by critics as an extremely true and amusing romance of stage life. It was filmed in black and white with twocolor Technicolor sequences.

In 1928, MGM announced it was going to turn the novel Lord Byron of Broadway by Nell Martin into a musical starring stars William Haines and Bessie Love. However, as they both had mediocre singing voices, they were replaced by Charles Kaley, star of Earl Carrolls Vanities and Ethelind Terry, star of Florenz Ziegfelds Rio Rita. At that time, Kaley and Terry were wellknown stage stars.MGM used the Woman in the Shoe musical segment in two short films, Nertsery Rhymes 1933 and Roast Beef and Movies 1934. ........
