HOLLYWOOD, Cal. Many

bility upon their shoulders. Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer hare derised a
very sensible way out of ;this dif- !
flcnlty for RobertMontg6mery.
He ' will alternate his stellar
roles with feature leads. The first
of the latter parts will be In "Sea
Eagles," the cast of which ought
to gladden the; hearts of film fans.
Wallace Beery, Marpore Rambeau
and Clark Gable all are in the
film. , l ;
An i arrangement similar to
Montgomery's will allow Beery
and Marie Dressier to accept
either featured i or star roles in
M-G-M pictures.!
It seems to me everybody con
cerned ill benefit from the plan.
The seats of the mighty are
greased and sloping. A few bad

toboggan. )

f A great deal of the -credit for
the stark frealism achieved in this
film is due Director William Well
man. Without trying to become
too dramatic: he impresses his
audiences i with scenes which carry
the conviction of sincerity and ve
racity. In1 otder to achieve this,
the story begins in 1909 with two
young boys,? potrayed by Junior
Coghlan and Frankie Darro, who
succumb to the influence of their
environments and start out life as
petty thletes.
The story then carries one
through 191,7 the war, prohibi
