" 'It % flL JK-LH 1 1 ill » I j-ir '-^lid HU/*rfll J Hi 111 S;; I fesa ft '1 , J #&J :£ From a volume of short stories by Roark Bradford, Marc Connelly fashioned the play The Green Pastures, which ran for years in New York and on the road. The film version, produced by Warners and directed by Connelly and William Keighlev, was almost as successful. Here is a view of the fish fry in heaven in the making. Notice the battery of sunlight arcs, the studio cop in the background, the interested audience in the foreground, and the camera, on a boom, in the middle distance toward the left.
