The girl who is causing all Hollywood to rave...She is Ilona Massey, European favorite from Budapest, Hungary, whose lovely singing voice will be blended with that of Nelson Eddy in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's lavish "Rosalie" which co-stars Eleanor Powell. Miss Massey sings Cole Porter's "Spring Love is in the Air", with the sixty-acre city of Romanza as the setting for her American debut. Blonde and blue-eyed, the young Hungarian is making her first screen appearance in the musical. This study was made by Willinger, noted Vienna photographer.

The lovely blonde star from Budapest will team with Eddy in "Balalaika" at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Miss Massey made a brief debut in "Rosalie" with Eddy and then began a year and half of grooming to perfect her English and acting before making her major debut in a co-starring role. Her training is similar to Eddy's who waited almost two years before he went into "Naughty Marietta" and then became a star overnight.
