...Page Miss Glory. Last week the first "superspecial" picture of the new season enjoyed its premiere in Manhattan. This-advertised on billboards all over the U. S. for the past two months, starring Jean Harlow, Clark Gable & Wallace Beery, produced at a cost of $1,000,000-was Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's China Seas...
Last year Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer bought Mutiny on the Bounty by James Norman Hall & Charles Nordhoff (TIME, Oct. 17, 1932). Last spring production started with Charles Laughton for Bligh, Clark Gable and Franchot Tone for sailors, San Miguel Island, 35 miles off Santa Barbara, for Pitcairn Island and a $15,000 barge with $50,000 worth of equipment for the Bounty. As unfortunate as her predecessor, the cinema Bounty last month broke a towrope, drifted out to sea with a watchman on board, remained lost for three days...

When Stephen's hands are mangled in a railroad wreck, Dr. Gogol (Lorre) replaces them with the hands of a murderer who has that day been guillotined. Thereafter the hands of Orlac...
...given the job of supervising all manuscripts which came into Columbia Pictures Corp. But that sort of job does not last long in Hollywood, particularly if the incumbent is an electric personality given to quick cigarets and quicker decisions. From Columbia he moved to Fox, from Fox to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Then he went back to the publishing business for a while, becoming editor of Photoplay, and recently "Western editor" of Liberty. The unhappy, pouched eyes of Ray Long grew unhappier. Panic-stricken, the man who once could command $100,000 a year and almost any editor's chair...
