"COLDEN CALF" BEGINS TONIGHT

Sue Carol and 100 Chorus Girls Display 202
 Perfect Legs

"Hollywood's most perfect legs make their bow in The Golden Calf" Fox Movietone all-talking comedy with music, which will be shown tonight and tomorrow night at the Coliseum theatre.
 While Sue Carol, possessor of the famous limbs, has been featured in a dozen outstanding productions, this is the first time that her shapely limbs have been exploited.
 As model for Jack Mulhall, Greenwich Village advertising art ist, Miss Carol displays her perfect legs in posing for hosiery add.
 "The Golden Calf" is gay story | of Bohemian life among artists and their models in New Yorks famous Greenwich Village, and the staging of the Illustrators Ball gives op- pcrtunity to introduce several spec tacular musical numbers. a
 Fl Brendel, Marjorie White, Rich ard Keene and Paul Page also are prominently cast. .v. 100 Chorus Girls
 There are 100 chorus girls in "The Golden Calf" Before the filming of the picture, 40 of them appeared before Judge Marshall F. McComb, in Superior Court of Eos Angeles with their mothers and fathers and had official approval given their 1ong-term contracts with William Fox Studios. They staged their own beauty parade before the bar of justice. The ball ance of the large chorus already was under contract and so 1t was not necessary to have their agree ments visaed by the court.
 California law makes it compul- sorry for any contract with minor ;-18 years in the case of girls-to be officially approved by a superior court judge before 1t becomes bind- , ing.
 1 Mutually Protective
 This measure protects the minors and incidentally the studios. They must be accompanied to court by their parents or guardians who must give their consent to the con- l tracts.
 ] All of the girls have calves which are exactly thirteen inches in cir conference with ankles seven and quarter inches, and feet nine l inches long. This is the ideal de- manded of the model who poses for the artist, Jack Mllhail, Iii "The Golden Calf"

the family. How the young ex- collegian turns over new leaf, scores in a business deal and in a "a riotous elopement scene steals the girl he loves from under his rivals nose right at the altar make up the concluding episodes of what is Haines' most amusing picture to date.
 A considerable portion of the story takes place in a brokerage office, duplicate of one of the most important financial offices on Wall Street. For the purpose of gaining authenticity in respect to ticker operations, quotation boards and other financial details staff lof brokerage clerks was secured tc act in these sequences of the pro- duction. Haines, himself, needed no coaching in connection with the i brokerage office details inasmuch as it was with this work that he was identified previous to winning the screen contest which inaugM- ated his entry into pictures.
 Added attractions are the Man haitian Revue" high class techni- color representation of Broadway life, specializing ziegfeld's Follies and Weekly News.
