AND GRANT WITHERS “THE OTHER TOMORROW” Real Georgia Town Built In Hollywood For Billie Dove It Is The Scene Of “The Other Tomorrow,” Her Newest Picture (ADVANCE READER— VITAPHONE) A village typical of the average small community in Georgia was constructed at Hollywood, Calif., at the studios of First National Pictures, for “The Other Tomorrow,” Billie Dove’s. newest picture, which opens at the Theatre. A film architect spent two weeks traveling through the Southern state and drawing plans of the houses and streets of small towns. Back at the studio, he had a village set made that was the “average” of those he had seen, from the village church to the main street. Constructing the set to be perfectly authentic was the idea of Lloyd Bacon, the director, who wanted to make the Octavus Roy Cohen story as true to life as it was possible to get such a tale in Hollywood. The paper and plaster town occupied as much ground as many a real Georgia community. And, as in many a town below the Mason-Dixon line, the film plot unfolds. There is the girl whose beauty wins the love and jealousy of many men, and whose pride will not permit her to ‘make up” after a quarrel with her sweetheart.. There are the village gossips. There is the sheriff who prevents a murder. And there is the feud between two men which supplies much excitement to the. plot. “The Other Tomorrow” is one of the most dramatic vehicles beautiful Billie Dove has ever had. It is her first role as a Southern girl, and her fifth talking picture. Grant Withers appears in the featured male lead, with Kenneth Thomson, Frank Sheridan, Otto Hoffman, William Grainger and Scott Seaton in the supporting cast. Fred Myton wrote the screen version and James Starr the dialogue. No Days Off For Billie “The Other Tomorrow,” the new First National and Vitaphone picture at the Theatre, was unusual in the filming because it required the services of Billie Dove, the star, for every day’s shooting. The customary schedule for one picture allows the leading players from two to five days off when they are not “on call” and do not have to be in any of the day’s “takes.” BILLIE’S DIRECTOR Lloyd Bacon’s success in directing Billie Dove in “The. Other Tomorrow,” the First National picture at the Theatre, won him “the assignment to direct the beautiful star in her next talkie, “faithful.” PRINTED IN U.S.A. Screen’s Bird of Paradise Billie Dove in “The Other Tomorrow’’ Cut No.1 Cut 4oc Mat toc Billie Dove Was Cause of Withers Becoming An Actor Young Reporter Inspired By Love Scene In a Picture (CURRENT READER—SILENT) A good newspaper man turned actor when Grant Withers was sent by his Los Angeles paper to interview Billie Dove.

And that bird gets paid for that!” Kenneth Thomson Is Hero On Stage And Villam On Screen In ““The Other Tomorrow,” With Billie Dove, He’s A Jealous Husband (ADVANCE READER) Kenneth Thomson, one. of the stage’s matinee idols of four or five years ago, now specializes as a villain on the screen—for instance in “The Other Tomorrow,” the First National picture starring Billie Dove, which opens at the Theatre. To the eye he looks kindly, handsome, manly and all that. But in the eye of the camera he has an extraordinary capacity for looking “mean.” Recently Thomson played a long stage engagement in Los Angeles, and several screen engagements simultaneously, in Hollywood. He was the hero of all the stage plays and the villain of all the pictures! In “The Other Tomorrow,” he is a jealous husband. Jealous husbands, of course, are always the villains! Grant Withers is “the other man.” The picture is a thrilling drama laid in Georgia, and its romantic element is said to be strong and appealing. FILM ROOSTER HAS A DOUBLE A rooster that works in the talkies had one of his biggest moments during the filming of Billie Dove’s “The Other Tomorrow,” now at the Theatre, when he achieved the importance of having a: “double.” Trained for film work, this Hollywood chanticleer was hired to crow for a scene in the picture. Then he contracted a “sore throat” and couldn’t coeck-doodle-doo into the microphone. As he already had appeared in previous scenes, First National hired another rooster to erow for him while he strutted his stuff in front of the camera. “The Other Tomorrow” is based on a story by Octavus Roy Cohen. “THE OTHER TOMORROW” REVEALS LOVELY BILLIE DOVE AS POWERFUL DRAMATIC AND EMOTIONAL ACTRESS She Reaches New Heights As Heroine of Screen Drama Laid In South Billie Dove in Southern style.
