Business and pleasure is combined for a group of about 200 Hollywood extras. They're the fellows who ride horses in masa formation in pictures Mitch as "Tho Vanishing Frontier," a story of the Old West, which comes to the King's Theatre on Thursday next. Their skill on borsos brings them returns in cash. But it also brings them roturns in pleasure, for most of them are graduates of the range in the southwest, and would rather spend their time in the saddle than anywhere else they can think of. Johnny Mack Brown is starred and Evelyn Knapp, Zasu Pitts, Ray. mond Hutton and J. Farrell Mac- Donald have featured roles in "The Vanishing Frontier, not in California in the days beforo organization of civil government, when a harah, mar- Mal-law was enforced.

"Lady and Gent."

A new cooling system installed on sound stages of the Paramount studion was need for the first time during the filming of "Lady Gent," a picture starring George Ban- croft, which is showing at the King's Theatre. Like movie-goers, who see their favourites in theatres cooled to a comfortable temperature, movie players now work in man-made climate. To keep the temperature on Stage 14, where "Lady and Gent" was being filmed, at 68 degrees, air drawn in from outside the studion was cooi- ed down to degrees by passing it through sprays of cooled water. This: cold air was puntped through flues to Stage 14. En route, it was warm- ed to 50 degrees But after it reach- ed the stage, and started circulating around the high-intensity lights, it warmed up another 18 degrees, to BG, a comfortable working temperature, There was real necessity for the use of the air-cooling system during the making of "Lady and Gent," for il called for a real deal of effort from the entire cast, not to mention The technical staff. The cooled stage made, their work easier. In addition to Bancroft and Misa Gibson, the cast includes Charles Starrett, James Gleason, Joyce Compton and John Wayne.

it was formerly believed that there was such an uninity between red- hended girls and white horses that when either appeared, the other would be sure to follow. Red-headed girls have come into their own since Warner Brothers introduced techni-) colour pictures to a black and white) cinematic warid. At last the true) glory of auburn locks, long famous ir song and story, can be transferred to motion pictures in all its various shades and tones.

Hair dressing specfailsts at Warner Bro there believe that the popularity of red hair is only just now in its in- fancy.
