More Stars Than Ever. The cast of stars is of unpre- cedented dimensions. From the moment that the production

was planned, nothing was spar- ed to ensure that it enjoyed the advantages of outstanding talent. Al Jolson takes the title role, that of Al Wonder, the prince of entertainers who runs the vast Parisienne night club. This is the same role that he played оп

Busby Berkeley Again Busby Berkeley, the most famous of the screen's creators of spectacular novelties, is con- sidered to have excelled himself In "Wonder Bar." Originality is the keynote of the daring, and unusual specialities he has stag- ed, offering a feast for the eye. One of the most sensational spectacles comes at the climax of the picture, under the title of the song number, "Going To Heaven On A Mule," sung by Al Jolson. This : occupies", several minutes, and is almost a com- plete picture in itself, present- ing the Darky's idea of "heaven." Six hundred girls were used in. the "heaven": sequences, all in "black face.". During the sequence Hal LeRoy, America's greatest tap dancer, performs.

Another featured. spectacle is. the dance amourous, performed in Pillars of Song," with end- less rows of gleaming columns, forming a sensational setting for intricate chorus work. Then there is the "Hall of Mirrors,” in which the Berkeley beauties are multiplied sixteen times in number," by the use of enormous plate glass windows.
