AL ROSEN * SCORES AGAIN! Al Rosen A nnounces The Forthcoming Production THE MAD DOC OF EUROPE Endorsed by outstanding Catholic Periodicals whose editors have read the shooting script, and carefully planned for the past four years, with the keen intuitive ability he has demonstrated in the past. ic From THE MONMOUTH AMERICAN "AI Rosen, who has discovered and developed more personalities than any other agent in Hollywood, dealing with such personalities as Fredric March, lack Oakie, Virginia Bruce, Ogla Baclanova, Judy Garland. Brian Donlevy, and Nancy Kelly, who was the understudy to the lead in his play on Broadway and Paul Muni, whom he placed in "Scarface," after his first try in Hollywood; and Wynne Gibson, Skeets Gallagher. Harry Green, Regis Toomey, Peggy Conklin and others too numerous to mention, such as writers and directors and story material sold by his office to the different studios; Al Rosen seems to have the knack of casting people and also the foresight of picking stories and plays that prove box-office attractions. Rosen is also indirectly responsible for getting Cary Grant and George Raft their first big opportunities. "It has been the opinion of this publication, whose editor has read the shooting script of "The Mad Dog of Europe," that, given a capable cast and a director keenly sensible to its worth, the filmed version should rank high among the great motion pictures of recent times."
