Tex Ritter Picture
Will Show At Biiou

Tex Ritter, star of Monogram's
"Westbound STAGE which opens
Friday at the Bijou theatre, is con-
sidered the outstanding authority
on "The American Cowboys Songs
and he uses this knowledge to good
advantage in every picture.
In "Westbound STAGE for in
stance, Tex goes way back in
Americana and revives "The Trail
to Mexico" This is the song, which,
put in a minor key, became BURY
Me Not on the Lone Prairie" one
of the most famous of cowboy
songs. Tex sings it in it's original
form in "Westbound Stage"

on his Connecticut farm before he
had ever seen a shot of it on the
screen. Even such well known estab-
lished artists as Leslie Howard,
who plays ASHLEY Wilkes" and
Olivia de Havilland, who is seen
as "Melanie', were tested before be-

Clark Gable, borrowed by Selz-
nick from Metro-Goidwyn-Mayer,
also made costume and makeup
tests, though rarely in the history
of pictures has an actor been such
a unanimous choice of public and
press as Gable was for the role of
"Rhett Butler" While no exact per-
centage has been measured, the
antly from the book. William Cam
eron Menzies, Lyle Wheeler and the
art department prepared more than
5000 sketches, visualizing in full
color all the principal scenes in the
picture. More than $500 separate
llelQS OIL WdIUTODe were required 10
be designed by Walter Plunkett,
for which he had to draw more
than 400 sketches. His task was
complicated by the historic fact
that during the eleven years cover
ed by the events described in the
book, mems and women's fashions
underwent three complete changes.
He thus had to re%-create not only
the fashions of the %hoopskirt era
before the war, but the makeshift
models of the poverty,stricken war
years and the hustle modes of the
reconstruction" period.
Fleming Directed
Production of the long-awaited
film was officially begun on Janu-
airy 26, 1889. Victor Fleming, the
director, made the final shot on
November II, 1899, the anniversary
of Armistice Day.
1t is fair to say that this has been
the most important directorial as
