Just like Ham and Eggs

Why the division of the team Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy?  Their 
opposite characters have form like Romeo and Juliet, ham and eggs, Hero and 
Leander, cabbages and kings.  Nelson's smooth personality and splendid physique is 
superb foil for Jeanette's scintillating beauty.

Eddy, in "Let Freedom Ring," was vocally appealing, but where was the fire 
and intensity of his acting--qualities never lacking in his performances with 
Jeanette?  In "Broadway Serenade," Jeanette was just ordinary, and her 
lovemaking with Lew Ayres farcical.  Her love scenes with Nelson are always convincing.

In "Rose Marie," "Maytime" and "Sweethearts," the quality and technique of 
this team's singing and acting were the epitome of perfection.  They attained a 
special place in their audiences' hearts as they depicted romance all in it's 
glory.  They made tears come to the throats of millions by the tenderness and 
depth of their ardent moments.  They transformed the world's husbands into 
lovers; sweethearts into husbands.

Put this immortal team back in the harness again!  If this be (fan)-tastic 
enthusiasm, make the most of it.
