'LILIOM (1930) 229 Another Barthelmess picture of 1930 was the successful The Dawn Patrol, an aviation picture directed by Howard Hawks. Here are Barthelmess (left) and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in a scene from the film. ABOVE MGHT From the musical-comedy stage came Dennis King, in one of his former stage triumphs, The Vagabond King. Just to make sure of its being a hit— which it was— Paramount filmed it in technicolor, and co starred him with Jeanette MacDonald. BELOW In photography, the impossible is so simple to achieve that most attempts at transferring phantasy to the screen have left nothing to the onlooker's imagination. Fox's production of Liliom, with Charles Farrell and Rose Hobart, was painstaking and elaborate, but it failed to capture the imaginative persuasiveness of the Theater Guild's original production.
