GOLDWYN-MAYER PRODUCES THE SENSATIONAL SMASH HITS OF THE SEASON CECIL B. DeMILLE, director of a hundred hits, has made in Dynamite what will be considered his greatest screen achievement. A thrilling drama which explodes the hypocrisy of the modern Babel called Society. Dynamite digs through the outer veneer of sham, pretense and glitter— and gets down to the bed-rock of human emotions. Charles Bickford, Conrad Nagel and Kay Johnson give the best performance of their careers. All-talking. Also silent version. WHAT a cast! More stars than there are in heaven! A glittering, gorgeous, spectacular revue — the kind you would pay $6.60 for on Broadway. Marion Davies, John Gilbert, Norma Shearer, William Haines, Joan Crawford, Buster Keaton, Bessie Love, Charles King, Conrad Nagel, Marie Dressier, Jack Benny, Gus Edwards, Karl Dane, George K. Arthur, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike,) Anita Page, Polly Moran, Gwen Lee, Brox Sisters, Albertina Rasch Ballad, Natacha Nattova &. Co., The Rounders, and a chorus of 200. A remarkable all-singing, all-talking, all-dancing picture. The hit picture with the song hitsl HERE is the picture that Broadway went wild about — Hallelujah, the greatest drama of its kind ever produced. Directed by KING V1DOR, who made The Big Parade — this stirring drama of the Southland immortalizes the soul of the colored race. Daniel Haynes, noted Negro singer, and Nina Mae McKinney, a beauty discovered in the night clubs of Harlem, lead an all-Negro cast in this remarkable production. One of the classics of the screen that will never die. Don't miss it! Hear Irving Berlin's "Waiting at the End of the Road.'
