...director in Frank Capra, who will make Mr. Smith Goes To Washington with James Stewart and Jean Arthur.

Less steady in its aim than most studios is Paramount, which ranges from experimental cinemopera like Rouben Mamoulian's High, Wide and Handsome to loose-jointed sophomoric trifles like College Swing, Turn Off the Moon.

Good shot: a carnival strong man tossing Red Scanlon into a creek. The Toast of New York (RKO) exhibits Edward Arnold, previously seen as Diamond Jim Brady, General John Sutter and an Oregon lumber...

S. moods, fashions and philosophies as seen in the Cinema, were impressive. Critic Richard Watts Jr., Director Rouben Mamoulian, Author Jim Tully, Singer Mary Garden, Scenarist Homer Croy contributed...
