Anna Karinina," the new Garbo
picture, will feature some scenes of
old Russia on an extremely lavish and
impressive scale.
Other forthcoming films that fall
into the spectacle" category will be
the M.-G.-M. production of The Tale
of Two Cities" in which Ronald Col
man will be starred. This picture
calls for a principal cast of 112 play
ers and more than 5000 extras for
the French revolution scenes.
The same studios have also in pro-
duction "Mutiny on the Bounty" an
adventurous tale that will bring to-
gether Clark Gable and Charles
Laughton, and "Mala," the South Sea
drama.
Spectacle films with their panoramic
scenes and huge casts have not been
practical in recent years, Mr.. Barron
explains, due to technical problems
involved in getting sound recordings
in large open areas. Improvements,
however, now make it possible to
handle the sound on large and spec
tacular scenes with great ease. This,
Mr.. Barron expects, will be demon
Strated in the films mentioned.
In addition to the above there are
the other pictures of the new season
that are expected to keep the Loew
box offices humming with activity
in the next few months.
