at the. studios. where they. were
busily emoting, because all those
pictures which necessitpted large
numbers of them are finished now
locked up safeiy ~in the can.~

So it 1s fitting now to review a
bit on these new pictures which
boosted ihe employment. of colored
players up higher than it had
been for over ten years, Those using.the largest number were Walter Wagner~s ~Sundown,~ Cecil De.
