264 THE TALKING PICTURE Another Lasky production of 1933 was The Power and the Glory, in which lie starred Colleen Moore and Spencer Tracy. ABOVE BIGHT W. C. Fields had become famous as a tramp juggler and pantomimist first in vaudeville, then with the Ziegfeld Follies, when Poppy, a musical comedy in which he appeared with Madge Kennedy in 1923, revealed that he had not only a speaking voice, but also an unerring gift for delivering comic lines. When talkies came to Hollywood, so did Fields. We see him here in International House, which Edward Sutherland directed for Paramount in 1933. BELOW Mitchell Leisen began His picture career as a designer and then as art director for Cecil B. DeMille, a post he held for twelve years before becoming a director on his own. His first picture was Cradle Song, for Paramount. It featured Dorothea Wieck, who had been brought to Hollywood as a result of her touching performance in Madchen in Uniform. She is shown here.
