Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which produced the film, has selected the home of the Packers as the most logical place for the picture's world premiere. Fans Are Interested Green Bay and Northern Wis consin generally, including th Fox river valley, has been intensely interested in the showing of the film ever since it was announced in California last March that the world champions would appear for M-G-M. Several weeks of hard work were spent by, the Packers preparing the short, and thousands of feet of film were exposed. Since that time the studio has been busy trimming down and arranging the sequences for public showing this fall. Just what scenes will be used is not known, and the Packers themselves are as curious as anyone.

It is possible that a preview will be arranged for members of the football squad.

"TO COMBINATION of the best-looking talent Hollywood can dig up would provide as interesting cinema fare for football fans of Green Bay and Northern Wisconsin as the big, burly cast of "Pigskin Champions," which will appear at the Orpheum theater late next week. The film has been awaited locally ever since mid-winter, when it was announced that Green Bay's championship football team Would appear in one of Pete Smith's sportshorts in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lot. Many hours were spent in taking pictures of the professional champs, and even the players do not know which scenes will be used, and which omitted. The Hollywood movie executives displayed particular interest in the exceptional talents of the Packers that is, the things they could do that the average football team couldn't. "We have a halfback who can throw a football with deadly accuracy for fifty or sixty yards," Coach Curly Lam-beau told them, and they demanded to see him.

Herber was trotted out and made to exhibit his throwing wing. "We have six backs who can punt better than 75 yards, and within a small landing area," Lambeau said, and again Pete Smith insisted upon proof. So the Packer punters lined up for another demonstration. Clarke Hinkle spent all of one afternoon filing down his punts so that they'd roll outside in the "coffin" corner. He had to kick in a high wind, too.

Herber had to sail a forward pass accurately through a suspended pane of glass.
