And, strangely enough, what they are on the screen is being accepted without protest as the very thing they have a brother should wl hen he came to Hollywood from England. have been in the imaginations of the millions who knew them on the radio. In building the characters cf| Amos 'n' Andy for “Check and Double Check,” as the photoplay, it decided that fidelity to the Icharacters of the air must be the first consideration. Every detail was carefully worked out, hundreds of dividual personality alorsy the lines!thousands of questionnaires filled | in by radio fans were read, and| Amos 'n’ Andy themselves were giv- en complete authority to add, re- vise or delete. Characters Retained Story and situations grew from the Amos 'n’ Andy drama of the air. Characters—Kingfish, Madame Queen, Lightnin’, Ruby Taylor— came from the same place. And so did the dlalect, that new Ameri- can language known popularly as Amos 'n’ Andese. The screen story carries Amos n' Andy through an adventure in which white folks are the most | interested—if hardly the most in- teresting players. There is romance, | supplied by Sue Carol and Charles Morton; there is the menace of {Half Harolde and Rita La Roy; |and there is the comedy, the pa- thos, and the what-in-the-world~ is-it? of Amos 'n’ Andy themselves. Although always before the cam- eras except in a few scattered se- quences necessary to plant the in- trigue into which they are drawn, Amos 'n’ Andy never become con- sclous of the part they are play- ing in the story. They are but the instruments of plot—the ambitious, blundering, lovable Amos 'n' Andy a hundred miilion Americans have taken to their hearts. and so thrilling in that means nerves are reasonable.
