The Greatest Line-up Of

Radio Stars Ever.

B. I. P.'s "Radio Parade Of 1935"

The greatest conglomeration of Radio stars ever lined up for any film has been gathered together for B.I.P.'s new

super Radio Alm "The Radio Parade of 1995," which has commenced production at the B.IP. studios at Elstree un- der the direction of Arthur Woods.

This film which is to be made is On a scale comparable even with Hollywood's biggest. The Alm stars Will Hay, the music-hail comedian whose second film this is), Helen Chandler the American Aim star, Clifford Mollison, Teddy Joyce and his Band, the American Broadway beauties, Les Girls from the Dorchester Hotel, who are easily the most lovely collection of giris appearing in London now. the Western Brothers, Kenneth and George-Olapham and Dwyer, Billle Bennett, Douglas Byng, Jack' Doyle (the boxer), Morris Harvey, Phyllis Robins, The Car- lisle Cousins, Laurie Lupino Lane, Les Allen, Nellie Wallace and Lily Morris. Three Bilors, Claud Dam- pler, Nina Mae McKinney, Peasy Cochrane, Ronald Frankau. Havex and Lee, Ted Ray. Yvette Darnac and Davy Burnaby.

Will Hay will play the role of William Garland, Director-Gener- al of the N.B.G. Broadcasting Bia- tion, who displays a great lack of interest in anything connected with broadcasting! In the film. Will Hay has five assistant. Dir- ector-Generals, each one being a retired naval or military officer- each the complete "Yes" "man, whose policy is "Say nothing ex-

cept Yes; Sir." "

Clifford Mollison will have the role of the head of the com- plaints Department-the most hard-worked department in the stacion-who accidentally meets Gerland without recognising him, and says what he thinks about the dul programmes. Gaziand is amused by the young man and gives him the job of director of Light Programmes, and Mollison sets to work to give the people Just what they want-light mus:- cal entertainment, starting with a super variety show.

All goes well with Mollison's plan of putting on a super variety

show, until a giant theatrical combine refuse permission for their stars to appear on the radio. They story will show how radio talent is discovered in the Broad- casting station. Ail the stars used will appear as actual workers in the station, who are called upon to broadcast in the spectacular finale.

Helen Chandler will appear as Will Hay's daughter, who becomes Mollison's secretary, without re- vealing to him who she is. She has been signed to play in this picture as the result of her ex- cellent work in her first English... fim "It's a Bet," also for BLP.

Jack Doyle will play the role of a singing lift man at the Radio Station, in which the famous box- er will demonstrate his remark- able powers as a vocalist. It is an important part in the picture. "Radio Parade of 1935 is a Hight comedy containing many sequences which are brilliantly satirical.

It is planned to present the grand finale or "Radio Farade" on e scale which will dwarf anything yet seen in a film of this type, "

This part of the film calls for a huge crowd watching the tele- vising of this gigantic finale in Trafalgar Square at night. The.. sequence will be filmed on an un- paralleled scale and should prove. the high-spot of the film, Cer- fain interesting details regarding this amazing project are being kept a close secret by BLF. ex- ecutives.

many points of interest. One is that it will be made entirely by young mien. Arthur Woods, the director, Is not yet thirty Cyril Bristow, the cameraman, is in his middle twenties. Jack Davies and Jimmy Bunting who wrote the scenario (from an original story by John Wait and Reginald Purdell) with Arthur Woods, are respectively twenty-one and twenty-five.

The lyrics and music have been written and composed by Noel Gay. Reginald Forsythe, James Bunting. Hans May. Arthur Young, Bob Busby, Jimmy Messini, and Lawrence Brewis-mostly young men.

ARMY TACTICS

Employed In Big Scene

The filming of one of the spect acular scenes for Greta Garbo's new picture, THE PAINTED VEIL was conducted as a miniature war game by the director, Richard Bolealawski. /

Boleslawak an officer of the famous Polish Lancers during the World War, directed the dificult scene with the ability of an army commander leading his forces into a well-planned battle man-

The battledeld was a Chinese village, constructed at the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer studios. It con- sisted of more than a score of structures destined to flames by a mob of rioters. --

Before a camera turned, the director had huge battle" plans dawn up for the scenes that were... to follow-blueprints of the ter- rain, showing the battered in, every window that was to be smashed by the cudgels of the rlaters

At strategic locations on the maps, Boleslawski hid charted the hidden emplacements for his "batteries"-Bix cameras with complete camera crews.

When the scene was ready, one thousand Chinese actors were on. the set as the "invading force." Boleslawski gave the command and the surging mob charged through the narrow streets- pre- rumably a mob out of control, but every man and woman had a certain mission to perform.

From his "observation post," = aised platform, the director wat-, ched the execution: of his battle plan. From concealment, out of vision from the other cameras, the cameramen bombarded the charging meb

Roof-tops into flame, with se- veral companies of Bremen, also concealed from the cameras, on guard to prevent the roaring blaze from spreading to other huge sets on the studio property.

And bear at hand, on the fringe ・・ of the "battle complete Geld hospital was set up,, with phy- sicians and nurses ready for any emergency. Throughout the night, however, the hospital was the only idle spot during the Alming of the riot sequences.

When the leaping dames de- windled in the piles of amoldering embers of the destroyed buildings, Boleslawski called a halt to the spectacle.

It had been successfully filmed, in the jargon of the studios, in "one take," thanks to the Polish ex-army officer's perfect battle" pian.

The fire and riot served as the setting for one of the climactic scenes of Greta Garbo and. Her- bert Maugham's novel

"The Iron Duke." Director: Victor Saville. Cameraman: E. Courant..

In George Arliss first British picture he will appear as the Duke of Wellington in The Iron Duke which is being shot at the Shepherds Bush Studios. It w be a triumph of the delicate art of the costume picture, but to secure this triumph the studio re- search department has had a gigantic task in front of it. They have dealt with such divergent. questions as "What did. Welling- ton smoke and drink?" "Did newspaper boys shout in the streets in 18157"What was the. he tht of Wellington?
