FEATURED | Betty Bronson, Ricardo Cortez. When Paramount assembles two of its most popular players in one ca-t, the answer can only be one thing. It means that the company must have implicit faith in the story of “Not So Long Ago” and that it is backing the story to the limit. With all of filmdom to select from there cculd not have been two better characters chosen than this pair. And we claim it the best picture since “LITTLE OLD NEW YORK.” .
