 The silent picture had what was considered a marvellous cast but the talking version one is greater has more character actors, 40 in all and the extras of which there are 10000 and the natural background used in the making makes 1t one of the most spectacular and stupendous productions ever filmed.
 On the same program an assort- ment of short subjects included in which are Mickey Mouse in Grand Opera" with that much abused Donald Duck; How to Behave, ar hilarious comedy with Robert Benchley who you will remember from that delightful featuret "How to SRleep"; Pete Smith sports reel and the latest issue of the Metro news. Here is a really worth while show.
