Elaborate Research Work Elaborate vesearch was involved in the designing of the sets by Cedric Gibbons and great care was exercised so that every “prop”that went into the sets had an actual place there. Many of the articles of furniture and decorations were imported. Eentire rooms of the gambling casino at Biarritz were built for the picture from archi- tectural plans sent from Europe. In engaging extra players and “bit” actors for these sets, Direc- tor George Fitzmaurice had to as- certain the languages and dialects “chatter” in the background would they spoke so that all the foreign mingle convincingly and not rep- resent @ polyglot mingling of strange tongues. Seven Different Nations It may be interesting to note that players of the principal cast represented seven different nations. Consequently in the characteriza- tions demanding accents or dia- lects, they were natural and not simulated. Miss Shearer is supported by a strong cast, the leading members of which are Robert Montgomery, Neil Hamilton, Marjorie Rambeau, Irene Rich, Hale Hamilton, Con- chita Montenegro, Jed Prouty, Al- bert Conti, Henry Armetta and George Davis. one, Arthur Shires, to get Manion in the draft, the veteran backstop ‘hit .353 last season.

The comedy drama has a notable cast, which includes Harry Langdon, Lotti Loder, Ben Lyon, Fred Kohler, Jean Hersholt, Noah Beery and Lee Moran. “A Soldier's Plaything” demon- Strates that war is not all mud, trenches, battles and barrages for the soldier who finds himself plucked from a peaceful occupation and planted on the front line. The play depicts some of the romantic and humorous things that befell American doughboys who donned the khaki and marched bravely into the fight. Soldiers in France Lyon and Langdon play soldiers in France who later become an in- tregal part of the Army of Occu- Ppation in Coblenz after the Armis- tice is signed. Their lives as buck privates provide many laughs, while Lyons’ romance with a Ger- man peasant girl strikes a roman- tic note of naive charm. Miss Loder, the Budapest beau- ty recently imported to Hollywood —and the talkies—enacts the peas- ant girl. Colorful Backgrounds The colorful hackgrounds of this comedy-drama are provided by New York, France and the Rhine country. Michael Curtiz directed this original story by Vina Delmar. Perry Vekroff adapted the piece and Arthur OCaesar wrote the screen dialogue. The romantic, as well as the comic, element of the picture is enhanced by numerous original and thnheful songs.
