240 THE TALKING PICTURE After long persuasion, that great stage couple, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, reluctantly consented to make die film version of Molnar's The Guardsman. Despite the success of the picture, directed bv Sidney Franklin, they never made another. Here are Lunt and Fontanne, with Jessie Ralph. BELOW The filming of Trader Horn was Hollywood at its tragicomic best. M-G-M sent an entire company and crew to Africa, in order to ensure the authenticity of the location shots; then, when the company returned to America, reshot most of the scenes on the M-G-M lot. The tragic phase of the episode was that Edwina Booth, who played the role of the white girl turned native priestess, contracted an obscure tropical malady from which she never fully recovered. Miss Booth appears here with Duncan Renaldo and Harry Carey, who played the title role.
