The troupe comprised some 1,400 cowboys, cowgirls, Indians, Cossacks, animal trainers, 600 horses, hundreds of wild animals. Cinemactor Mix and Funnyman Rogers got their start there. Col.

"If you want to start a war" advised Bishop Francis John McConnell, "mobilize the liars and get the churches to bless it." Shanghai police arrested Cinemactor Ronald Colman who was strolling the town after curfew...
