Hollywood authors. They work to-

brilliant cast, in which the reliable
Lionel Barrymore does a cracking

distinction.

CLEVER CUTTING

CLEVER CUTTING
Unless public announcement had
been made that Mary DeeS, the
stars Stand-in, was photographed
in the final sequences, it is doubt
full that many would have recog-
nized the substitution. The Splic-
ing has been neatly contrived, and
since Jean Harlow actually ap-
pears in the closing shot, the
illusion of complete screen per-
Torrance is present.
Such scenes as employ an alter
nate do not require dialogue, and
the understudy is generally photo
graphed behind big hat or with
back to the camera. Since she
has substantially the same physi-
cal proportions as the star, there
is no jarring note.
Saratoga" must take its place,
on merit, with the best racing pic
lures issued by Hollywood. The
original story and scenario, by
Anita Loos and Robert Hopkins,
has a real feed box flavor. Actual
racing pictures, taken at Tropical
Park, Miami, and at the famous
Churchill Downs on Derby day,
aid in the establishment of a
genuine quality.
Clark Gable plays a free and
easy bookmaker, one who is will
ing to gamble on love as we'll as
the thoroughbreds. Jean Harlow
is the daughter of a Kentucky
horse breeder, with a loveable old
granddaddy whose whole life has
been spent in and around the
stables.
Jean is given the benefit of a
good education with the family
hope that she will marry well
and escape becoming a racing
gypsy" meaning one with a
gambling instinct who follows the
sport, North and South.
