FINE RANGE OF M. G. M. FILMS DUE
IN COLONY
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's office, in Hongkong has just received in- formation from their Home Office in regard to some of the super pictures already completed and intended for production. These new films will be the finest yet produced by the company and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios will thus not only maintain their pre- vious high standard of production, bal excel it.
BIG SUCCESS
To begin with, there is "Good- bye, Mr. Chips," with Robert Donat in the male lead and Greer Garson in the female lead, a new comer who has already definitely está, blished herself in the motion plc- ture Armament. It was made by our studies in Britain, and latest" reports to "hand indicate that been wherever it has already shown it has met with over- whelming success.
NEW JUVENILE STAR Next comes "Tarzan Finda A Son," another one of the Tazzen series, which, in the opinion of the author, Edgar Rice Burroughs, is the best one to date. It intro- duces a new juventie star, whose emulation of Weismuller's feats on a smaller scale will win unstinted admiration.
The $3,000,000 breath-taking spectale. "Wizard Of Oz” is also finished. It is in technicolour and the concensus of opinion in Holly-. wood is that it will probably ex- ceed the gross of “Snow White.”
OTHER PRODUCTIONS
The other productions either ta the shooting or editing stage are as follows
"Gone With The Wind": Gable, LesHe Howard, Vivieni
Leigh; "Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever": Mickey Rooney, Lewis ·Stone;
"Lady Of The Tropics: Taylor, Hedy Lamarr; "The Women": Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette God- dard; “Marx Bros. At The Cirena"!! Marx Bros., "Ninotchka”- Garbo, Douglas; “Bálalalka”; Eddy, Dona Massey; Northwest Passage" (n Technicolour): Tracey, Young, Berry: "Another Thin Man”:: Log, Powell; "Broadway Melody Of 1940: Astaire, E.
