Rogers Picture
Stays at ApoHo
County Chairman Held
Over for Second Week.

To nseet the demand of theater-
gOers. The County Chairman"
Fox Film production with VIII ROg-
ers in the title role, which is being
shown currently on the Apollo
screen. has been held over for a sec
ond weeks engagement. it is an
nounccd by the management.
Appearing in support of Rogers
are many well known screen stars
including Evelyn Venable, Kent
Taylor, Louise Dresser, Stepin
Fetchit and Mickey Rooney.
The County Chairman" is a story
of smiles and heart tugs rivaling
the highly successful Judge Priest"
and David Harum,' as a vehicle for
Rogers.
In his new film Rogers is seen as
willy. lOvable county boss. who wins
elections and arranges love matches
with equal skill
The picture Is a screen adaptation
of the famous stage comedy of the
same title by one of America S
foremost humOrists. George AIDE.
The County Chairman" reveals
a new locale and a period seldom
seen on the screen, and it presents
Will Rogers in a different type of
char9C ~rizGtion from anything he
has previously played on the screen.
The hOmeiy humor Of George AIDE
is still rich in Its American flavor.
In fact, if George AIDE had had VIII
Rogers IN mind when he wrote the
pay he could not have created
more perfectly tailored story for the
Okla nUTia sage.
Many of the situations and the
speeches made by Rogers in The
County Chairman" are his own pol
icies and things he has talked anOut
over the radio and written about in
his daily column in newspapers.
A highlight of the production is
one of those famous torchEsht pro-
ceSSiOnS which were so much in
vogue at the turn of the century.
John BlyStone directed the picture
and the adaptation from AIDES play
was made by Sam Holman and
Gladys Lehman.
