STUDIO SPECIAL 9A ACTION ON THE MOHAWK—What between Indians and Red- coats, those hardy pioneers of New York State found living next to impossible. Here Ward Bond has caught Claudette Colbert in the nick of time as Henry Fonda and Beulah Bondi look on. Some 3,000 people will have been used in “Drums Along the Mohawk” before production has been completed. TYRONE POWER as he ap- pears in the final scene in Zan- uck’s picturization of Louis Bromfield’s “The Rains Came.” “HOLLYWOOD CAVALCADE”—Get ready “to see one of the greatest pictures ever produced” is the advice that comes from the studio regarding this first Technicolor special for 1939-40 release. Among those pictured here are Don Ameche and Lynn Bari. Ameche is co-starred with Alice Faye. Others in the cast include Stuart Erwin, Buster Keaton, Mack Sennett, George Givot, the original Keystone Cops, Jed Prouty, Alan Curtis, J. Edward Bromberg, Donald Meek and others. “CHARLIE CHAN IN A CITY IN DARKNESS”—This second 1939-40 mystery in that popular series is based on a recent his- torical fact. Above are three of the principal characters. Sidney Toler as Chan is at the right, C. Henry Gordon at the left and between them stands Lynn Bari who has the feminine lead. Her- bert Leeds directed. AN EXTRAORDINARY FLIRTATION results when Brenda Joyce and George Brent first meet early in the picturization of “The Rains Came.” How love ripens between the two furnishes this picture of heart-wonders with another reason why it will be this company’s outstanding grosser. SPRING BYINGTON plays “Ma” Jones for the 13th time in the second 1939-40 release in that series, “Jones Family in Too Busy to Work.” “HEAVEN IN A BARBED WIRE FENCE”—Dealing with a problem that is making front-page news today. Above in a scene from the Wurtzel drama of wandering youth are Raymond Wal- burn, Jean Rogers and Glenn Ford. Ricardo Cortez directed. Production is in the cutting department. Ford makes his debut in “The Escape,” in which he also plays opposite Miss Rogers. FOUR ROUGHNECKS! None other than Jane Withers sur- rounded by Ritz, Ritz and Ritz, who co-star with her in her second of the 1939-40 series, titled “Roughnecks.”
