Fran cis, in the coveted role, starring in a picture which has been produced on a lavish scale to make "A Tale of Two Cities," the picture in 1936 that "David Copper-field" was in 1935. The stirring scenes before and during the French Revolution were captured by Dickens and wrought into a human document as few historians have succeeded in doing. Metro Goldwyn Mayer have presents Rogers and June Clyde as leaders of rival orchestras engaged in a national competition for a radio contract. A song and dance hit, the Valparaiso, and several new popular tunes are included in the picture. The featured dance team is Jack Holland and his nw partner, June Hart.

All copies of Douglas' novel are off the shelves at the public library and there are lengthy first western with a Metropolitan Opera star. And that is not the only unusual note about it.

Have you ever seen a western in which the bandits stop their raiding long enough to sing in chorus formation? Gladys Swarthout, who essays- the dual roles of Rosita Castro, daughter of Don Pascual Castro, and Don Carlos, masked leader of the Spanish vigilantes, calls the vigilantes together with songs and they answer in massed choruses. Charles Bickford joins in a duet with John Boles, after inviting him to join his band of night raiders, and when Boles foils the bandits, he wins the girl in the final duet. "Rose of the Rancho" has an able director in Marion Gering, good' photography, and an excellent cast which gives a spirited performance but can't rise atfove THE TEN BEST COIFFURED women in Hollywood, according to Perc Westmore (and he should know), are Norma Shearer, Bette Davis, Carole Lombard, Ginger language. Now as to speaking Chinese as the Mandarins did, Anna May hopes in time to universalize their dialect. As it is at the moment, Chinese talking pictures (and there are very few) are made only in the Mandarin and Carftonese dialects and as a result are understood only by the intelligentsia of China.

You see, over there about every fifteen miles the dialect changes and the people can't understand each other. What a system.

She is the daughter of his late cook.

Tom-lin's room is decorated with stuffed birds. His ambition is to hunt a pink-toed cockatoo in Africa. Paddy has a dog. The house has a cat. And you have the plot.

Jane Withers exudes personality. She is a vital, lovable little being, with a malleable face that can be equally tragic or comic. Rita Cansino, sister of San Francisco's Spanish dancer of the same name, appears to good advantage as a young Russian; and Georgp Givot puts considerable straight comedy into the part of Miseha Petrovitch.
