SONG OF THE

EAGLE

DRAMA OF TWO U.S.

DECADES

"Song of the Eagle,' bold, sweeping drama of two de cades of American history, as seen through the eyes of one American family, will have its final showings. to-day at the Queen's Theatre.

The march of events during the most vital period in world history, from the opening of the World War up to the present, and then on into the future, is thrillingly chronicled in the picture. It is acted out by a cast headed by Charles Bickford, Arlen, Mary Brian, Jean Hersholt, Louise Dresser, Andy Devine and George E. Stone. They worked un. der direction of Ralph Murphy. The picture, produced by Charles R. Rogers is released by: Para mount...

The film centers around"a" ran- peetable middle-class brewing fami- ly. When war breaks "out, they send two sons into the conflict. Only one returns. He and his fa- ther find their" business ruined by the enactment of Prohibition, but they struggle through the years that follow, maintaining their dignity and self-respect in spite of sorrow and loss of fortune.

They welcome the return of beer as a return to the happiness they once had, only to find themselves confronted by a problem that all America may face in he next few months.

The picture daringly forecasts the future, venturing a prediction as to what may be expected when gangsters and racketeers find their strongly-built businesses menaced by the law.

HOW CHARLES FARRELL GOT

In recent survey. of 10,000 Idt- ters written to Charles Farrell by his "fans" all parts of the world. the question asked more than any other was: "How did you happen to get your big break y

The cast was not get but the ever-impatient "New York Office" was wiring for pro liminary stills on the principals. Robert M. Yost, then director of publicity, was pacing the floor of his office bent upon away out of the problem to satisfy the eastern staff. He paused momentarily also lacking out toward, the west, and through the window he saw young Farrell_balancing himself on the curb. The boy had recently done a bit on a Fox picture called "Wings of Youth" and Yost knew him by sight.

Yost opened the window and call- edapat

Young man, how would you like to stand in as a subsitute in 'n still picture with Madge Bellamy HIE will be a great accommodation to the publicity department, and you never can tell, it may mean some- thing good for you.'"
