P. T. Barnum, self-styled of comes back to a hearty life today at the State theatre in the person of Wallace Beery, who plays the matchless showman in Darryl F. Zanuch's production of Mighty for Twentieth Century Pictures. The screen play, which maintains the comedy mood best suited not alone to Barnum's extravagant exploits, but to most popular type of characterization as well, was written by Gene Fowler, famous biographer, and Bess Meredyth, one of ablest scenarists.

The famous midget. General Tom Thumb, and his bride Lavinia, the Cardiff Giant, the Bearded Lady, the Fiji Mermaid, the Wooly Horse and all the rest of the with which Barnum staggered New York a century ago are seen. His splurge from the grotesque to the sublime with the sponsoring of the American debut of Jenny Lind, the lovely Swedish nightingale, at Castle Garden, plays a big part in the picture, with Virginia Bruce charmingly interpreting the golden-voiced Jenny. Adolphe Menjou, Rochelle Hudson and Janet Beecher are cast in this Joseph M. Schenck presentation which Walter Land directed for release through United Artists.
