Adventures of a ceremonial speaker who “dubs” a speech-impaired professor, whereupon a baroness falls in love with his voice … A film grotesque with eccentric dance interludes: “The chansonier takes a back seat to the knock about elements of the plot. This completes the dissolution of the film operetta.” (Hans Feld, Film-Kurier, 20.12.1930)
