Photoplay Magazine for February, 1930 H3 WITH BRIGHTEST STARS IN HOLLYWOOD'S HEAVEN Since their first startling introduction of Vitaphone Warner Bros, have gradually massed wonder upon wonder until it seemed that talking picture progress had surely reached its peak. But now suddenly at a single stride Vitaphone comes forward with an achievement so immeasurably superior to any that have gone before, that the history of screen development must be completely rewritten and revised. "THE SHOW OF SHOWS" is a connoisseur's collection of the supreme examples of almost every form of stage and screen entertainment. Only Vitaphone could assemble the names of John Barrymore, Richard Barthelmess, Beatrice Lillie, Ted Lewis, Georges Carpentier, Irene Bordoni, Dolores Costello, and enough more for 20 average pictures, all MilllKt Vitaphone" is the registered trade mark of the Vitaphone Corporation. Color scenes by the Technicolor Process on one prodigious program. And you'll remember as long as you live such sensational features as the Florodora Sextet composed of headline screen stars — the Sister Number with eight sets of celebrated screen-star sisters— the stupendous Lady Luck finale with a chorus of 300 and fifteen specialty "acts." If you could see only one motion picture this season, that picture should be "The Show of Shows." Don't dare miss it — for you may never look upon its like again! A SWEEPING DEMONSTRATION OF THE SUPREMACY OF VITAPHONE PICTURES. PRODUCED EXCLUSIVELY BY WARNER BROS. AND FIRST NATIONAL ' When you write to advertisers please mention PHOTOPLAY MAGAZIXE.
