Among My Souvenirs. "Goodnight The Lyric Popular Given Return Showing Here Tht thrill of the boric race, drama of the people who haunt the tracks, and romance between two of these are combined in "Saratoga," making a return showing here with screenings at the Lyric Sunday and Monday. Jean Harlow and Clark Gable are costarred. The film will be remembered principally as the one which waa In production when Miss Harlow was stricken ill and died. The producers remade many of the sequences, changing situations and characters to permit use of a "double" for Miss Harlow, and the picture went out to the exhibitors.

"Saratoga" by Anita Loos and Robert Hopkins, ran serially in The Herald a season ago. Many will remember the story of the daughter of a rich racehorse owner and a bookmaker, her father's friend, whom she hates and fights, then loves. Intrigues over "ringing" bets, plot and counterplot behind the scenes in the paddock, and finally, the thrilling racing climax worked out with a dramatic twist, keep the picture on the move. Many of the scenes were made at the famous Saratoga Crack, and there is an air of authenticity about these episodes. Lionel Barrymore has the principal supporting role, as the old horse breeder.

Others in the cast are Una Merkel, Frank Morgan and Cliff Edwards, all of whom contribute comedy; George Zucco, Jonathan Hale, Hattie McDaniels, Frankie Darro and Henry Stone. WANT A JUICY BIRD?
