Good example is Myrna Loy, who began her career as the dark-featured “other wom- an,” and often was cast as an Oriental. A switch to light comedy meant freedom for her pliant face and its attractive frame of red hair. But she still has the freckles she started out with.

Linda Darnell!” Linda was back in Hollywood, Mamoulian knew, but his pewilderment was soon eased. When Darnell vacationed in Mex- ico recently, the owner of one breed had honored her by naming all his 23 bulls after her. This was one of them. The director couldn’t have her name coming over the sound track, and asked for another bull. The crowd booed and hissed him for taking Linda Darnell out. He couldn’t have the boos and hisses, either, so he filrned the scene minus sound. The proper sounds will be supplied later — here.

APPEAR AT 20TH CENTURY "Torrid Zone™ ‘with Torrid Love Scenes Will Have Opening on Sunday James Cagney is having one of his comparatively rare opportunities to prove that he.can love like he can fight. It is moreover, an opportunity worth considerable waiting for. His parduer in the romantic scene of Warner Bros.' “Torrid Zone,” the picture opening at the 20th Century, is Ann Sheridaa. In making the play, the scene starts right off with a kiss. Without any pretty speech preliminaries, Cagney took Ann into his arms and ALL BOX OFFICE RECORDS!
