The direction of an orchestra of one hundred men is a terrific task, but it was splendidly handled for "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" by Arthur Lange, one of the most accomplished maestros of the baton in all the history of American theatricals.
John Arnold, Irving G. Reis and Maxmillian Fabian had the task of photography for "The Hollywood Revue of 1929." The work of putting the gorgeous scenes, settings and costumes on celluloid film was unusually hard because of the size of the sets, the number of players and dancers involved, and the brilliance of the costumes. Also a number of "trick" effects tasked the brains and resources of these clever masters of camera and lens.
Editing of this picture was in charge of William Gray.
Douglas Shearer, Recording Engineer for Metro-GoldwynMayer, personally supervised the recording of "The Hollywood Revue of 1929," with the assistance of Russel Franks
There has never been a more difficult job of sound recording. Shearer had to "get" the tap of dancers' feet, the resounding rhythm of huge orchestras, the croon of a tenor's sigh notes, and the great vocal outpouring of 200 and more trained voices.
"The Hollywood Revue of 1929" took over six months to make. It cost an enormous sum of money. It gives to the music and fun-loving world the greatest collection of famous "names" ever assembled in a single revue. It introduces more new song hits than have ever been presented by any preceding musical show, stage or screen. Jack Cummings was its production manager.
When this picture opens at Grauman's Chinese Theatre June 20th Hollywood will have its greatest opening. For the interest has been intense during the entire period of making "The Hollywood Revue of 1929." It attempts innovations and does new and novel things which the screen has never before seen. It carries the idea of a musical show in talking pictures farther than has ever before been attempted.
Hollywood's film colony realizes these facts and is preparing to do honor through its applause to those concerned with the making of "The Hollywood Revue of 1929."
