As Allen, Edward G. Robinson makes a radical departure from the characters he has been giving American picture audiences, be ginning with "Little Caesar" on ' 'UU r iTB our r iuui idu "The Hatchet Man." The actor himself regards the character as the most difficnlt he has been called upon to portray since his entrance into pictures. Metropol itan critics have hailed Robin son's performance in this picture as one of the brilliant achieve ments of the dramatic season. The aggregation of players as sembled for the production offers an excellent example of the care with which First National pic tures are cast. Even the smallest parts have been entrusted to ex perienced and able actors Preston Foster, who has the role of John Allen's buddy, plays the same part that he created in the New York production. His first few days work in the picture made such a deep impression up on the production heads of the studio that he was immediately tigned for an important role in another picture and Riven a term ron tract.

Picture audiences will in stantly remember her in -"The Be loved Bachelor," "Husband. Holiday." "Two Kinds or Wom en" and "The Ferguson Case." The part of Tony, the dancehall keeper, is ably taken by J. Carroll Nalsh, who was a member of Rob inson's cast in "The Hatchet Man" and has an effective role In "The Mouthpiece," starring War ren William. Guy Kibbee, who will be re called in "Union Depot" as the older of the two hoboes, has a vivid part as a bookmaker. Otto Hoffman..

Mr. Butterworth says that though the words 'admitted to the Indiana Bar' had a nice smack to them, they were not all that was necessary to get something to eat. Ho tried newspaper reporting with rather dire results and then made up an imaginary Rotarian speech, which, by hook and by crook he got to the attention of J. P. Mc- Evoy. who was then producing Americana." From then on suc cess came pouring in on the de fenseless Butterworth head, orac- ticaiiy swamping him. He has never been more amus ing than in "Manhattan Parade", in which his timid and evasive comedy is contrasted with the rough-and-ready clowning of Win 111 nie Lightner. Other uproarious , fun is provided by Joe Smith andf Charles Dale of the Avon comedy four. The cast also Includes Dickie Moore of "Star Witness" fame Walter Miller, Greta Granstedt and Bobby Watson.
