...Warner Bros.). Instead of Arabia or Becky Sharp, Producer Hal Wallis chose the more realistic subject of the Northwest woods and the logging industry for this Technicolor. Cast, technical crew, Director William Keighley and Red Spierling, logging superintendent of the Crown Willamette Paper Co., whose crew set a world's record in 1931 by getting out 1,662,000 ft. of lumber in a single day, spent two months at Longview, Wash., making the outdoor sequences. The result, as background of a story loosely adapted from James Oliver Curwood's 1922 novel, is the most spectacular investigation...
...precedent. Selznick International, after a board meeting in which Backer John Hay ("Jock") Whitney was re-elected chairman, Producer Selznick re-elected president, last week announced an expansion in its current program.

Dark cottonwoods and yellow wheat, the greens and reds and rolling con-tours of the San Jacinto mountains where it was filmed, spread themselves out for the technicolor camera like a war-chief's blanket. Historically accurate since there has been little change in the landscape since 1870, Ramona pours its eye-filling opulence through many frames: Ramona's wedding breakfast, the horse race at the Fiesta, Alesandro driving his sheep to San Diego, ploughing...
Billed as the first feature-length musical comedy in the "New Technicolor," "Dancing Pirate" marks a signal advance attributable to the efforts of Robert Edmond Jones, but shows that there is still ground to be covered before the silver screen acknowledges the rainbow with satisfying grace. We liked the story; we have for years. A young dancing master (Charles Collins) is shanghaied to California, where he is soon waltzing his way to freedom and young love's triumph with Steffi Duna, the local senorita No. 1. In spite of the riot of color and considerable good dancing, the absence...
