Saratoga was practically complete when its star died last month of cerebral edema. For the few remaining sequences, mostly in the middle of the picture, director Jack Conway used longshots of a double so adroitly that cinemaddicts are not likely to detect Miss Harlow's absence.

The shipbuilder's son-in-law is Robert Ames, 42, who died suddenly in Manhattan last week, of edema of the brain. He had acted with Ruth Chatterton in Tomorrow & Tomorrow (released next month...
