This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.90.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:02, 6 April 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''The Loves of Robert Burns''''' is a 1930 British [[historical film|historical]] [[musical film]] directed by [[Herbert Wilcox]] and starring [[Joseph Hislop]], [[Dorothy Seacombe]] and [[Eve Gray]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/38186|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090114092417/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/38186|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 January 2009|title=The Loves of Robert Burns (1930)|website=Ftvdb.bfi.org.uk|access-date=14 January 2017))</ref> It depicts the life of the Scottish poet [[Robert Burns]].

==Cast==
* [[Joseph Hislop]] ...  Robert Burns 
* [[Dorothy Seacombe]] ...  Jean Armour 
* [[Eve Gray]] ...  Mary Campbell 
* [[Nancy Price]] ...  Posie Nancy 
* [[Jean Cadell]] ...  Mrs. Burns 
* [[C. V. France]] ...  Lord Farquhar 
* Neil Kenyon ...  Tam the Tinkler 
* [[George Baker (record singer)|George Baker]] ...  Soldier 
* [[Harold Saxon-Snell]] ...  Gavin Hamilton 
* [[Craighall Sherry]] ...  James Armour 
* [[Wilfred Shine]] ...  Sailor

==Production==
The film was the first joint production between Herbert Wilcox Productions, and His Master's Voice gramophone company. The aim of this was to give Wilcox access to their celebrity recording stars such as [[Chaliapin]], John McCormick, [[Galli-Curci]], [[Yehudi Menuhin]] and others. For the lead he cast the Scottish tenor [[Joseph Hislop]].<ref>Wilcox p 86</ref><ref>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article82984228 |title=NEW SOUND FILMS |newspaper=[[Daily News (Perth, Western Australia)|The Daily News]] |volume=XLVIII |issue=16,922 |location=Western Australia |date=29 July 1929 |access-date=21 August 2017 |page=1 (HOME FINAL EDITION) |via=National Library of Australia))</ref>

==Reception==
Wilcox later wrote it was "a good film, I thought, but not commercially successful" which led to the gramophone company ending the relationship with Wilcox. "Had I chosen a less indigenous subject and a greater name star, the story might have been vastly different," wrote Wlcox.<ref>Wilcox p 86</ref>

===Critical reception===
''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote, "another film which was manufactured with a particular eye to American consumption has on its showing here fallen far short of standards set by British critics...It was thought that the story of the Scottish poet whose fame has been spread throughout the world by his fervently admiring countrymen would command a certain amount of universal appeal. An undoubted opportunity has been missed in that respect. Joseph Hislop, a well-known and popular tenor, was selected for the rôle of the poet, and he does his part, so far as the rendering of a series of Burns's famous songs is concerned, as well as could be desired. On the other hand, the photographic work is much below the standard and the character of Bobbie is divested of most of those qualities which endeared him to his readers as a man as his verse commended him to them as a poet. "The Loves of Robert Burns," indeed, was so unsatisfactory to the London public that it was withdrawn at the end of one week's trial at a central cinema, although it had been largely advertised in advance. Herbert Wilcox was the producer and apparently he fell between two stools—that of finding a singer who could do justice to Bobbie Burns's "Comin' Through the Rye" and other equally famous ballads, and an actor who could present an adequate picture of Robbie the man" ;<ref>((cite news|last=Marshall |first=Ernest |url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=990DE4DE153AE532A25750C2A9659C946194D6CF |title=Movie Review - - London Film Notes; At The Astor |website=NYTimes.com |date=23 March 1930 |access-date=14 January 2017))</ref> and more recently, ''[[TV Guide]]'' called it a "poorly produced life of the famed writer that is short on fact and long on fancy. Hislop, a noted operatic tenor, is about the best thing the film has going. He gives a fairly good performance and handles the songs well. However the script is a joke. Though the title implies that several
affairs will be dealt with, in reality there are only two. Gray and Seacombe are Hislop's two lovers, both historically inaccurate. The film shows Seacombe being seduced and being made into "an honest woman" by Burns, when in reality they married and had several children. This story gives them no
family at all. The Scottish settings are used nicely, but the actors keep forgetting what country they are in and their accents change from scene to scene. Better to buy an anthology of Burns' work than to deal with the mess here."<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/movies/the-loves-of-robert-burns/review/104906/ |title=The Loves Of Robert Burns - Movie Reviews and Movie Ratings |website=TVGuide.com |access-date=14 January 2017))</ref>
