Canadian-born Bobby Breen (1927-2016) became a sensation as a boy soprano on 30s radio programs. ln an era when Shirley Temple ruIed the box-office, it wasnt long before HolIywood came caIling. Breen established himself as a young performer with presence, charm and taIent in nine feature films made over a six-year span, most of them released by RKO. Upon reaching adolescence, Breen's voice changed. AIthough he quietly retired from the screen shortIy thereafter, he continued to make nightclub and concert appearances untiI his death in 2016.
BREAKING THE lCE (1938): Tommy Martin is a poor boy Iiving in PennsyIvanias Mennonite community with his widowed mother. A sIeazy conman, ""Swapping Sam"" TerwiIligger, thinks he can make a fortune after hearing the Iads beautifuI singing voice. Sam takes Tommy to Philadelphia, where he is soon making $25 a week singing at an ice skating rink. Tommy thinks $20 of his salary is being sent back home to his mother, but it is actualIy going to Sam. Refusing to be swindIed any Ionger, Tommy now must make a Iiving on the mean streets of PhiIadeIphia, alone...
Breaking the lce was meant to launch the career of Bobbys co-star, six year-old ice skating sensation lrene Dare. She wouId onIy make two more films, Everythings on Ice (1939) and Silver Skates (1943). Charles Ruggles, whose illustrious career spanned six decades, appeared in Trouble in Paradise (1932), Murders ln The Zoo (1933), Alice in WonderIand (1933), Our Hearts Were Young and Gay (1944), and The Parent Trap (1961), among many other films. Dolores Costello was a popuIar screen siren in the silent era and starred in Orson WeIIess The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), but is best known as the third wife of John Barrymore and the grandmother of Drew Barrymore. Breaking the Ice also earned an Oscar nomination for Victor Young's score.
ESCAPE TO PARADlSE (1939): In his final starring roIe, Bobby pIays an underage taxi driver supporting his family in South America. He is rewarded handsomeIy after helping an American tourist pursue a sexy Señorita. Escape to Paradise was Bobbys last movie before his voice changed. Co-star Kent TayIor later found great success on teIevision as Boston BIackie (1951-1953). Erle C. Kenton directed numerous short comedies during the 1920s before helming cuIt horror cIassics such as IsIand of Lost Souls (1932), The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), and House of DracuIa (1945). |
