10y, Rosalind Russell, Franchot Tone
and Walter Pidgeon.
The Warner Bros. Offices toss out
the glad tidings that they will bring
to the Earle soon the first w. c. Fields
cinema released in many months. It
is The Big Broadcast of 1885," which
also has in the cast Martha Raye,
Dorothy Lamour, Bob Hope Shirley
Ross. Ben Blue, Shep Fields and-this
should slay you after reading the first
part of the list-Kirsten Flagstad.
Big Broadcast" is one of sundry Par
amount releases to be played at the
Earle during the second quarter of the
1878 cinema season. The others
include wells Fargo" the historical
drama produced and directed by Frank
Lloyd. with Joel McCrea, Frances Dee,
Bob Burns, Lloyd Nolan, Porter Hall,
Mary Nash and Ralph Morgan; Every
Days a Holiday" starring Mae West
with Edmund Lowe, Charles Butter
worth, Lloyd Nolan and Charles VIM
ninger, and THE Barrier" the cellu-
lose version of Rex Beach story, with
James Ellison, Leo Carrillo, Jean
Parker, Otto Kruger, Robert Barrat
and Andy Clyde.
PERHAPS it is sign of approaching
senility or outright obsolescence,
but one of our favorite games these
days is analyzing the casts of motion
pictures, especially the musicals, and
cataloguing the actors who are grouped
together therein. Behold THE Big
Broadcast" for example. In it will be
found one former vaudeville juggler,
now. a world-famous comedian (Mr.
Fields, of course); one former vaude-
vile stooge, now the noisiest girl in
pictures (Martha Raye); one glamour
girl, spelled Lamour; one musical
comedy funny fellow (Bob Hope) !;
one glamour girl also able to sing
(Shirley Ross); one baggy pants come
dian and pantomine artist (Ben Blue); !;
one orchestra leader (Shep Fields),
and one of the most famous Metro
politan Opera singers of the era,
Kristen Flagstad. See why we like to
breakem down?
Another striking bit of casting is
encountered in M-G-M's "The -Four
Marys," where some brave soul has
combined the talents of Myrna 10y
and Rosalind Russell. Miss Russell, as
you know, is supposed to have made
the Hollywood grade not only because
she is q good actress, but because she
distinctly resembled Mile. 10y.

Describing the loyalty" of In.

large amount of work which the

years with a minimum of criticism,
croSland said:
-. SIT is the training, long ex.

-ployes of the commission which
enable it to turn out the vast
amount of work which the Con-
greSs has imposed upon it. With
out these men and women of
experience, always at hand, the
Commission could not efficiently
administer the interstate COM
