HOLLYWOOD, March 30.-A'
flood of mail shows that the
movie public not only is ready to
help Metro Goldwyn-Mayer cast
David Copperfield," but is pre-
pared to supply hundreds Of chill
dren ideally suited to play the
role. AS many as Is per cent
of the letters received are from
fond parents, who want their
youngsters to act in the Dickens
classic.
They will be disappointed to
hear, then, that the youthful
David probably will be sought in
England when Director George
Cukor and Scenarist Howard
Estabrook journey there shortly.

that children lose it after six

Charlie Chaplin
Getting Ready

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 30.
Last weeks reported break be-
tween Paulette Goddard and
Charles Chaplin must have af-
forded the comedian a good deal
of quiet amusement. The whole
thing seems to have had no
more foundation than the facts
that Charlie had a visitor in
tow and Paulette went to spend
a few days in the desert with
her mother.
Paulette is now due back in
town and Charles visitor, E. V.
Lucas, is on his way to England.
Lucas, who is the editor Of
the British humorous magazine,
punch" came all the way from
London to California to do re-
search on the essayist, Charles
Lamb. The Huntington Library
in Pasadena has a store of ma
terial on the early English
author.
Now that his house-guest is
gone, Chaplin's associates be-
lieve the comedian may finally
start work upon his picture. He
has an outline of the story and
has had his cameraman. Rollie
Totheroh. and his art director,
Danny Hall, on salary since last
September. The cast and the
necessary sets to start the film
could be assembled in a week,
according to the studio.
Charlie is still determined to
have no dialogue in his picture,
which will have an industrial
background and which will glorify
the jobless man.

Big Land-Goins
Liner to Tour
Highways

A giant land-going liner, wild
Cargo" a highway ship as strange
as any since the days Of Noah's
ark, was christened on Broadway
this week by the breaking Of a
bottle of champagne by Mrs.
Frank Buck, wife of the famous
animal collector, as it was
launched for it's tour Of the
principal cities of the country in
connection with the showing Of
the motion picture wild Cargo"
Frank Bucks mechanical jungle
float, manned by a crew of four
and standing Is feet from the
ground to tips Of its maSts, gave
Broadway one of its weirdeSt
thrills as it plowed through traf-
fic in the wake of a Dodge motor,
more than 80, feet in length. The
float carried 10 animals above
and below decks, hooked up with
special motors to give natural
looking animation, while sound
effects included the trumpeting
elephant, the screech. Of Simians,
the hiss of snakes, the roar Of big
jungle cats and the below of
rhinoceros, etc.
Smoke came from a stacks Of
''Wild Cargo" and occasionally
Shrill whistle warned the populace
of the approach of the jungle on
wheels. An immense head" Of
the jungle lord, Frank Buck,
turned from side to side in a mon
arch-of-all-he-surveyed manner and
the steamer effect was carried out
to minute detail through flags,
rope ladders, a crows nest and
other paraphernalia of sea-going
ships.
Indirect lighting is provided for
the spectacular ballyhoo, for all
cages below decks, with special
lighting effects on deck. Thus the
good ship is made worthy for
night duty. A Kohler gas engine
generates electricity to operate
animals and sound, as well as
furnish the light. The mammoth
float was built by Messmore and
Damon, creators of many of the
most ingenious contrivances of
the show world.
Frank Bucks "Wild Cargo"
RKO Radio picture, made over a
period of almost a year by the
Van Beuren Corporation in the
Asiatic jungles, was generally re-
leased this week and is now show
ing at Keiths.
The wild Cargo" steamer.
taken from drydock, will travel
overland to put in at important
keypoints where the production
has a run. The tall masts can be
lowered to IL feet when it is
necessary for wild Cargo" to go
through tunnels or over bridges.
