At RKO we find that Sam
Briskin reports the studio pur-

year, Al of which were screen
originals, and only 81 of which
were stage plays, magazine stories
or novels. That's certainly tip

from the usual.
can say with authority that
for the first time a picture will
have absolutely no closeups. The
picture is "Swing High, Swing
Low" starring Carole Lombard
and Fred MacMurray. Mitchell
Leisen, its director, has the theory
that as long as Lombard and Mac
Murray are always supposed to be
together in the picture, they must
not be shown one without the
other, so the audience will always
think of them as a unit. Also
they are using a wide angle lens,
so instead of seeing the characters
in a close shot sharply, with the
background all blurred by dis
tance, the background will be as
clearcut as they are. 1t is felt that
with its fascinating Panamanian
locale, the audience must always
be conscious of the surroundings
Of the players, because in this
particular epic, the backgrounds
are as important as the players
themselves.
The only person we can ever
remember having done such a
thing before was Rex Ingram,
who, in his old M-G-M pictures,
cameo-ed his scenery and the
extra players actions minutely
and just as Subtly as that Of the
principals.

which he previously was set. vii.

LeBaron and Raft happened to
meet at a dinner and the converse

about Rats retirement from the

The new picture which opened
at RK-O-Keith'S Theater yester-
day springs from David Lamp

is filled with suspense, but the
truth is that audiences are well
aware that one candidate for the

and that eventually the Governor
