Mat No. 5—20c PRODUCTION STORY Real Horse Show Is Shown in New Drama of Society The eagle-eyed fans who seem to go to neighborhood movies with the express purpose of tripping up the producers by spying mistakes in their pictures are about to meet their Waterloo. Not, of course, that many of these same fans would be fully equipped to discover any technical errors in the screen presentation of a fashionable horse show; but even if they were, they wouldn’t be able to spot one single error in “The Woman in Red,” the new Barbara Stanwyck starring vehicle for First National Pictures, which comes to Che: sictaccees PEALE CION:. cq caecascte For the first time, a swanky horse show is presented on the screen in all its glory. There have been brief flashes before, but “The Woman in Red” shows one complete, filmed with such noted horse experts as Marcorita Hellman, Arthur Perkins, Bob Monroe, and Audrey Scott as technical supervisors. The exclusive Los Angeles Breakfast Club, scene of numerous horse shows, was rented for these scenes and many prize-winning thoroughbred horses were obtained for the occasion. In the picture, Miss Stanwyck, as an impoverished young __horsewoman from Kentucky, rides a horse named “Queen of May,” supposedly owned by Genevieve Tobin. “Queen of May’’ is actually “Magna McDonald,” a blue-ribbon mare owned by Marcorita Hellman, Warner Bros. stock actress and Los Angeles socialite, who has a part in the picture. “Magna,” according to her owner, has beat every mare of her class with the exception of “Roxy Highland,” who is still national champion after five years. ““Rigador,’’ ridden by John Eldredge in “The Woman in Red,” is actually “Betty Blake,’ owned by Capt. Alvin Skiles of La Jolla, California, and is considered the best “under-15-hands” horse in the country. And all the other horses that take part in the film show are bona fide winners.

John is the young actor who scored so solidly in ‘“Flirtation Walk” and “The White Cockatoo,” and now has an even more important role opposite Barbara Stanwyck in First National’s “The Woman in Red,” now showing at the sacs tsbenssuneamecstesrseeas Theatre. John’s father was Rev. George G. Eldredge, native Californian and pastor of St. John’s Presbyterian Church in Berkeley. He died after seeing war duty at the front in the late World War, but not until he had heard his son’s adolescent desires to became an actor. “When I told father that I intended to become an actor,” recalls John, “he only grinned and said ‘That’s all right, son, as long as you’re a good one!’ ” And according to critics, Eldredge has made good. With him in Miss Stanwyck’s supporting cast are Genevieve Tobin, Gene Raymond, Dorothy Tree, Russell Hicks, Phillip Reed, Nella Walker, Claude Gillingwater and other important players.

The actress spent most of one day falling over backwards from the rail of a ship onto a huge pile of mattresses some eight feet below. And no one can tell her that half-a-dozen mattresses can’t be hard! Dorothy knows differently, after hitting them numerous times.

ON THE CAST @ Raymond’s fm Is Aroused by Term Platinum Blond” “Don’t call me a_ platinum blond !”” That’s the plaintive plea of Gene Raymond, the popular young leading man who appears opposite Bar * bara Stanwyck in “The Woman in Red,” the new First National drama which comes to the................ 2 NCAEO ON Sci ae Gene has always regarded his very conspicuous hair as a necessary evil. He has never minded the light blond color as much as the very crisp wave that is always part of the Raymond coiffure. When he was a youngster, he was constantly accused of using curling irons on it—which, to a fellow of Gene’s virile qualities, was a fighting insult. However, since there are no other leading men with hair as light as Raymond’s, it is only natural, that he be dubbed “Hollywood’s male platinum blond,” just as Jean Harlow is the feminine of the species. Platinum blond or no, Raymond is splendidly cast in “The Woman in Red” as a light-hearted young polo player, son of an impoverished family, who marries beautiful Barbara Stanwyck, a_ professional rider in horse shows. Genevieve Tobin is the third in an intriguing triangle, while John Eldredge, Dorothy Tree, Phillip Reed, Doris Lloyd and Arthur Treacher have other important roles under the direction of Robert Florey.
