288 THE TALKING PICTURE Samuel Goldwyn produced The Dark Angel in 1935 and starred Merle Oberon, Herbert Marshall, and Fredric March in it. BELOW In the summer of 1934 Max Reinhardt staged a spectacular production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in the Hollywood Bowl. The great Max had never considered the films, but confessed that he found them "interesting." It was no surprise to the know ing ones, therefore, when he agreed to collaborate with William Dieterle in a screen version of the play, for the Warner Brothers. The cast was large, the ballet was trained by Bronislava Nijinska, Erich Korngold wrote the music, and Hal Mohr did the photography, all of which cost well over a million dollars. Unfortunately, the public was not amused. Here is a scene from it, with James Cagney, as Bottom, holding the stage.
