picture comedy ought to shoot up
number of points.
Lutte Song" the late Sidney
HoWard's adaptation of the Chinese
classic play which was presented so
colorfully and dramatically at
Catholic University last winter. will
be Broadway production in the
autumn, maybe earlier
1t will have as its director Ethel
Barrymore. whose previous efforts in
that field have been largely under
the name of E. M. Blythe.
Michael Meyerberg, under whose
auspices the play was tested at
c. u, will produce.
The Enchanted Voyage" a
highly jinXed piece of literary prop
erty which has been languishing in
the library of Goth Century Fox, is
destined finally to get before the
cameras. On five previous writings
it failed to do So This time every
one is happy with the result of the
rescripting.
In making the story as screen
drama, the studio has decided to
make the background as authentic
as authenticity can be. A large
camera crew has been dispatched to
New Orleans to shoot the scenes
which Nathan described so vividly
in the original novel.
You probably will be seeing it in
the late autumn.
Before he gets around to the
happiest sounding enterprise we
have heard since he went to Holly
wood, namely, starring in The
Secret Life of Walter Nifty" by
James Thurber, Danny Kaye will
do a remake of a comedy you may
remember. That would be The
Milky Way which once was a We
hicle for Harold Lloyd.
1t won't be called that in this
edition, however The Kid From
Brooklyn" is it's new name.
1t is getting so you can't make a
picture without getting Brooklyn
into the title.

There was a lot of film to look
over in putting the picture to-
gether. I don't know exactly how
much of the footage I looked at,
but it was huge. There were lots
of faces to see, of course, but l
noticed that this one fresh-faced
kid kept popping into sequence after
sequence I asked about it and was
told that Smokey just was around
when the pictures were being shot
and he was very interested in them
Because he was always handy, cam
era crews used him for test pur-
poses. He was a kind of stand-in
for the whole Navy air branch. The
crews liked him lot, but they had
no notion of him being in the pic
ture. I asked what had happened
to him and gradually got the whole
story, which was one of the most
dramatic I ever heard. I was pretty
excited about it, as you noticed when
you saw the picture. I called for
every foot of Stover film the crews
could lay their hands on. We
couldn't use much of it, of course,
but what we did use enabled us to
get a very special quality into the
film that it could not have had
otherwise"
1t certainly did. It is the sort of
thing that makes Mr.. De Roche
