BERRY REHEARSED FOUR YEARS AGO
FOR ROLE OF BARNUM IN NEW Film

gan four years ago, the lady who
was Jenny Lind to his Barnum is
now a cinematic toast ~ Grace
Moore. That's how it is in Holly
wood; the star who falls today may
be a bigger star tomorrow, and the
supporting player especially if hes
Wallace Beery-may be star him
self.
OF course it's usually more point
ed than that-the star and the
minor player changing places. The
script of The Mighty Barnum, en-
gineered by Gene Fowler and Bess
Meredyth, changes the relative po-
sitions of Barnum and Jenny Lind,
but the cast shows no Grace Moore
playing q minor Lind to Berry s
Barnum. Virginia Bruce is playing
Jenny, while Grace Moore, One
Night of Love- on its way, awaits
her next starring assignment

THRILLS, CHILLS
AND ROMANCE IN
TARTAN FEATURE
] oh my Weissmuller and
Maureen O'Sullivan in
New Jungle Film

At last-the ideal family pic
ture"!
ssTarzan and His Mate" is the
offering that comes to the Capitol
Theatre tomorrow night, with an
appeal for father, mother, children
and "oldsters" from eight TO eighty
and breath-taking thrills to stir
any audience.
Johnny Weissmuller as "Tarzan"
and Maureen O'Sullivan are again
united in a jungle love story based
on the famous fiction characters
created by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
that have been read by 100000
people in English alone, with trans
lations into fifteen foreign langu-
agesl
Into the primitive romance is
packed a series of animal scenes
that have never been equalled in
the filming of adventure pictures
for the screen. Herds of elephants
are shown charging members of
safari followed by mixed fight
between elephants and fifty lions
with Weissmuller in the middle of
the struggle.
Other animal thrills include
battle to the death between Weiss
muller and a man-eating crocodile
at a depth of more than thirty
feet under water photographed by
submerged cameras. Herds of ze-
bras, wunderbeeste, gorillas, ostrich
flocks and many smaller African
animals are also shown.
This is not to be confused with
any previous Tarzan pictures which
have been presented here, as it is
an entirely different, new and
greater portrayal of Tarzan. A
strong romance between Weissmul-
Ter and Maureen O'Sullivan adds
considerable real beauty to this
great film.
Last Times Tonight
Spencer Tracy and Madge Evans
will delight audiences again this
evening at the Capitol with their
troubles and worries as husband
and wife in The Show-Off."

RET0RT FUMES FATAL
TO FAIRBANKS MINER

Charles P. Opdyke, well known
mining man of the Fairbanks dis
trict, died recently at his cabin on
Nome Greek, about 60 miles from
Fairbanks, where he and his part
ner, Charles German, were engaged
in placer mining, from retort fumes.
The partners had made small
cleanup which Opdyke took into
the blacksmith shop for retorting.
After brief while German went
into the blacksmith shop and found
his partner slumped on the floor.
He carried the senseless man into
his cabin nearby, where he ex-
pired.
Opdyke was AZ years old. He is
survived by his widow and 5-year-
old son.

BY ROBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 11.-Not
every actor has the opportunity to
play a role on which he has started
rehearsals four years before.
When Wallace Berry stepped on
the stage for the first days shoot
ing on 1.-THE Mighty Barnum," he
was simply starting again, in a
sense, where he left off four years
ago.
At that time Phineas T. Barnum,
mighty Snowman, was important to
picture because of his part in the
career of the Swedish nightingale.
Jenny Lind. But Berry, then just
launched on his way to stardom,
made the character live so impress
lively that perhaps it was inevitable
he should some day star in a pic
ture containing more Barnum than
Lind.

Hollywood Error

The other picture, variously It'll
ed Jenny Lind" or "a Lady's
Morals" was not showing success.
1t starred a lady whose cinematic
future was regarded in producer
circles as dark and dreary. 1t was
obvious, many opined, that she
didn't photograph and her box
office appeal was nothing to bet a
hundred grand on. Oh, yes, she
could sing--but musicals were dying
out anyway.
So perhaps Jenny Lind" or "a
Lady's Morals" was more notable
for the boost it gave to Beery's
career than for the presence of its
star, who went away to pursue her
singing elsewhere.
1t is just coincidental that as
Wallace Berry resumes, on a stel-
lar scale, Characterization he be-
