De- Mille spectatle, revived memories of ‘he old days of free-running gold, ithough not necessarily in the mil- lion-dollar class. Box' Office Better This year a dozen or more pictures have had pretensions as successors to the old lavish silents. Even in the old days such concentrated expenditures on the part of virtually all Hollywood producers were unusual. Rising box-office intakes, and the fact that “big” pictures have drawn about twice as strongly as “aver- age” ones, account for Hollywood's Jptimistic outlays on such films as Mutiny on the Bounty, A Midsummer Night's Dream, A Tale of Two Cit- ‘es, Anthony Adverse, The Magnifi- sent Qbsession, and Captain Blood.
