• The kid who looks like an angel when he's standing up with Joe and Dave singing in the church choir on a Sunday morning? What about him? Why he makes more trouble for "Ma" than all the rest put together. For it's Mike who gets himself into a canary-colored jockey jacket and climbs aboard Uncle Gus to ride the Beebe entry in the big race. Yes, and has "Ma" reaching for those smelling salts as he gets thrown at the barrier. Nope, when it comes to causing calamity, you can't beat the Beebes, the gol-darndest family in the whole blooming U.S.A. No siree, sir. And you can't beat Paramount and Paramount's ProducerDirector Wesley Ruggles when it comes to whipping up the grandest screen comedy of the year . . . which is, of course, the bounding biography of the brawling, betting, beloved Beebes . . .

For where the hard-workin' feller has it easy on account of when work is offered him all he does is take it, the lazy feller has got to figure ways of gettm' around workin" And that takes a heap of sense. Paramount has handed me Fay Bainter for team-mate in this 'Arkansas Traveler' picture. And you know Fay's just about as fine a gal as there is in pictures. Then they ve gone and handed me another person, you'll be glad to hear about. He's a ringer. He ain't a real picture actor like me. In fact, he used to turn out some pretty fancy writin'. But he's got a face on him that's like my Uncle Snazzy 's. Once you've seen it and recovered from the shock, you'll never forget it as long as you live. His name is Irvin S. Cobb." "MEN WITH WINGS" When they called the roll of stunt flyers assembled on the Paramount lot for the breathtaking plane fights in "Men With Wings," Paramount's Technicolor cavalcade of American aviation, they discovered this was the biggest bunch of air aces to hit Hollywood since Producer-Director William Wellman's first aviation triumph, "Wings." ANOTHER AWARD WINNER... Coast critics are predicting Frank Lloyd, many times winner of the prized Motion Picture Academy Award, has a potential winner in Paramount's "If I Were King" starring Ronald Colman. OCTOBER, 1938 17
