Carlotta King

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.
