EXPENSES ARE HEAVY
FOR TAKERS

} for seven days in painting the
"set." The paint alone cost near
ly $4,000.
Utilities Corporations came in
for their share. ..
One mile of power line, with a
carrying capacity Of 1000 volts
was erected to furnish current for
the batteries of lights employed
in night scenes. Two night scenes,
according to RKO electricians, will
cost the studio $4,000 for LABOR
and current consumption alone.
Thirty eight hundred feet Of
water main has been laid for file
protection. -.
Other expenditures, reacting d.
rectly to persons and industries
outside the studio, include:
Salaries for 500 extra people,
ranging from $3.50 to SIS day.
The feeding of these people, at
81 per meal each. The catering
establishment operating this con-
cesSion uses six chuck wagons and
employs 60 cooks and helpers.
Six tons Of ice are used to cool
drinking water.
Five hundred dollars day is
spent for. hay and oats for the
horses used in the production.
Clothing for extra players cost
$33, 900. Makeup for the cast will
amount to $4,000.
Furniture, automobiles, push
carts and other objects common
to Paris during the World War
period cost $4,000. Most of This
expenditure is for rental rather
than for outright purchase.
All this reveals, contrary to
some public opinion, that the
salaries paid stars and feature
players are. in reality, just a
small part of the expenditures
made for production.
The making of talking piclul es
is essentially an industry-one Of
the worlds greatest.

IS
CHILDREN'S
FAVORITE,

Ramon Novarro was able to
travel incognito in the capitals OF
Europe. and never was recognized.
But when he tried it in America
it was another matter-for he
couldn't escape the sharp eyes Of
American children.
The famous star, whose latest
picture. Call Of the Flesh, is
now at Loew's Palace. recently
toured Europe. With the aid OF
pair of dark glasses, and the
use of his family name Samle-
negoS, he went everywhere. and
never was recognized or moleSted.
When he finished his new pic
ture, he thought he'd try it again
and see America first" He went
to New York. to sing over a ma
tional broadcast, then went to
Lansing. Mich. to study under
his famous teacher, Louis Grav-
cure.
The first day. he was out on
the front lawn resting, when
several neighborhood children
eSpled MIN.
That's Ramon Novarro!" they
shouted. In a short time his
lawn was crowded with young
SterS and as the word spread, al
most every school child in LanS-
ing dropped around.
But NoVarro likes children.
They're his most valued fans. So
he laid in a stock Of chocolates
and daily held frolic with his
youthful admirers. He insists that
it was the best part of his trip.
But it goes to show" he in
sistS, that no matter how you
may be able to fool their elders,
you can't fool American young
sters. They're just too smart for
that!" =

Eddie Phillips Is
Villain for tOZsONa

Eddie Phillips plays an un-
pleasant role in Al Jolson's new
picture, Big Boy" now at War
ner's Metropolitan Theater re-
markably well. Phillips is an at
tractive young player who has
been featured in numerous juVe-
nile leads, but who recognized
that an opportunity to play vii

be worth many times the value Of
the average Hero" role.

liked big Boy" infinitely bet
ter than the recent Nanny"
chiefly because there was no oc-
caSion to have recourse to the
handkerchief. Only once does
Uncle AL threaten at becoming
sentimental and then he wise
cracks to prove he's jesting with
tears in his eyes. It's all good fun
and first class entertainment.
Big Boy" is built fictionally as
sturdy as the average musical
comedy structure. Very early in
the story you realize that big
Boy" the Bedford stables entry
for the Kentucky Derby. is des-
tined to have the floral horse
shoe draped around his neck and
that Jockey Al Jolson will proba-
bly, be booting home the Derby
winner. What worried me was
how AL was going to make the
weight for the race but Big Boy
was evidently able to tote a stout
package. There are the usual de-
ceits and trickeries Of the gam.
blers but AL brings home the
bacon for or Marse Bedford, and,
as he observes, q slice Of liver
with it. Some of the jokes are
a bit labored and others antique,
but in between are good ones.
In the early reels the JolSon
voice is heard in negro Spirituals.
There are ''Dixieland," When /
Get to Heaven and Go Down
Moses" These are made memory
lingering by splendid chorus
which supports the singer.
More in the Jolson mood are
Tomorrow Is Another Day"
"Hurrah for Baby and Me" and
Little Sunshine" all tuneful and
we'll sung by a master Of lyrics.
In a novel finish Actor Jolson
waggishly reassures the audience
he will not sing Sonny Boy"
again and reprises with his hit
tune.
Noah Beery is the villain and
the foil for the best Jolson horse
story. Lloyd Hughes, Claudia
Dell, Louise Closer Hale and
Johnny Harron serve in the other
important roles acceptably. Alan
Crosland's direction is animate
and intelligent.
On the supplementary program
is a good short comedy, Aver
age Husband" q Walt Disney

guished for imaginative ideas, and
