THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1932.
CINEMA SCREENINGS.
NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES
One picture that has caused. more casting troubles than any other film produced since the advent of talking pictures is "Over the Ill," which open on Sunday at the King's Thea-. tro. The key character of the story is "Ma" Shelby, mother of the brood around whom the plat revolves, Coil- ing for an actress equipped to enact both a woman in her prime and an old lady in her declining years. It re- quired one who was a mistress of her art.
Reallsing the enormity of the tank of finding such a person, Mr. Win- Hold Sheehan, Fox Vice President and General Manager in charge of produc- tion, took it upon himself to find this artist. But he soon reached the
point of despair when test after test availed him nothing. It was then that Mr. Sheehan happened to recall an artist who had retired from the scream some twelve years ago, a star, film who had abandoned a brillant career for the more important carcer of motherhood. But he niso recalled that she had refused many flattering offers to again face the camera. How- ever, where others falied, Mr. Shechan succeeded
and Mina Mao Marsh, favourite of silent days and star in "Birth of A Nation" and "Intoler- ance" was induced to leave her own children and mother the film children In "Over the Hl,"
Another key role was "Johnny," the good non. Thirty different aspirants faced the text cameras before the de- xired player WILB found. He WILA James Duns, then playing on the New York stage. Ife was ordered to Holly. wood immediately, only to find when

"TELEGRAPH" ART SUPPLEMENT

There will be a varied die. play of topical pictures in to. morrow's issue of the Tele graph Pictorial Supplement, including many relating to sporting events.

he arrived that the picture was not ready for production. It wAS waiting for the start of "Over Hill" that he was cast in "Bad Girl," the film that won him overnight star- dom.
Then Mr. Sheehan put over another
grenteat coup, perhaps the
of all. "Bad Girl" hand hardly been released when his astute mind realised that the public would be clamouring for more of the "Bad Girl" team, James Dunn and Sally Eilers so he instant- ly cast Miss Eiters in the romantle feminine lead, again opposite Dunt

STOCKS ARE NOW A "BUY,"
UNLESS THEY ARE A "SALE."
Has it occurred to you that one of the few, if not the only, Canadian, American or English securities which you have or had that has "gone up" in the past year or two, is your life policy?
Do you know that during the well, if unfavourably, known "crash" of 1929 you could not borrow from New York's largest banks $5,000 on bonds with a market value of $100,000,--but that you could borrow on your life policy, with market value of $5,000, exactly $5,000,-and at an interest rate of 6% or less.
J. P. MORGAN Sr. SAID that if a man's investments earn more than 6% he is gambling. (To-day such a rate on the best type of security is impossible in Canada, the U.S.A. or England).
WHEN Mr. MORGAN DIED it was found that about. 30% of investments he had made during his lifetime proved worthless. (And he was reputed to know something about investment).
Possibly YOU haven't as reliable an access to investment information as he had, and possibly your funds available for investment are less than he had. It would appear, then, that your chances for investment failure would be greater than were his, and that you might not be as well able to afford such loss. as he was.
WE WILL GUARANTEE YOU AND
YOUR DEPENDENTS AGAINST LOSS.
