p.-I LMINDIA March 1938 This last feat is strikingly illustrated In "The Adventures of Marco Polo", by the use of vast amounts of gun powder to blow up the gates of the Khan's palace, Marco lost no time in putting his ideas to work. The Sherwood version of Marco Polo's life is admittedly not faithful to the very letter. But the tale as prepared for the screen, is not entirely fanciful. Marcc Polo, history's first, is still the world's greatest salesman!! * * GOLDWYN TAKES A REST Having spent nearly $10,000,000 during the past year in producing five of the biggest films of his career, Samuel Goldwyn has now gone to the Hawaiian Islands for a month's vacation. In twelve months Goldwyn has produced five outstanding films. His "Stella Delias" and "Dead End", already widely shown, have proved among the artistic and box-office hits of the season. Next for presentation was "The Hurricane" a spectacular drama of the South Seas which cost more than $1,800,000. In the cutting rooms being edited for early release is "The Adventures of Marco Polo" and the producer's musical extravaganza "The Goldwyn Follies". "The Adventures of Marco Polo" stars Gary Cooper and introduces the Norwegian actress Sigrid Gurie to the screen as a new Goldwyn discovery. Stars of screen, radio, theatre, grand opera and ballet comprise "The Goldwyn Follies" cast, the list including Adolphe Meniou, the Ritz Brothers, Kenny Baker, .")() Andrea Leeds, Vera Zorina, Helen Jepson, Edgar Bergen the ventriloquist and 'Charlie McCarthy' his dummy, Phil Baker, Ella Logan and Bobby Clark. * * * CAROLE LOMBARD HONOURED Carole Lombard who co-stars with Fredric March in David O. Selznick's latest colour comedy "Nothing Sacred" will shortly have a bronze tablet erected to mark the house in which she was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. City officials and members of civic organizations will gather at the old house to witness the erection of the first inscription ever to mark permanently the birthplace of a screen celebrity. * * * IF YOU WANT A HOLLYWOOD CAREER "If you want a Hollywood career, don't be a recluse," says Pat Patterson, wife of Charles Boyer, featured in Walter Wanger's "52nd Street" cavalcade of the New York night-clubs. "So many newcomers to Hollywood," says Pat, "have a tendency to withdraw into their shells, into a world of their own. They should get out, circulate, as sociate with others and lead more natural lives. No one can learn to act by shutting himself off from experience. One needs the warmth and understanding of human contacts and problems". STUDIO CLOSE-UPS (Continued from page 53) Saraswati Cinetone of Poona with the shooting of the same subject in Hindi. Rohini Films: Director Reddy has made considerable progress with "Grihalaxmi" with Kannamma in the lead. Pragati Pictures: Extensive bookings on the spectacular picture "Nandkumar" have been carried out by these people. There is not the least doubt that this picture will be received very nicely wherever it goes. For sheer spectacle and grandeur there has been no picture produced in the South to beat this one as yet. "Nandkumar" is expected to be a high water mark of Box-office success. Bibbo in "300 Days & After" a Sagar picture running at West End Cinema
