It was In October, 1932, that Clyde E. Elliott, who directed "Bring 'Em Back Alive." left Hol lywood with a cast headed by Marion Burns, Kane Richmond and Harry Woods, and started for the other side of the world. "We spent a whole year on the job, but the results prove that we were justified," declared Elliott. "It took us several days to get a scene showing a black panther chasing a baby elephant, with the elephant falling into the game hunter's net trap, and thus escap ing the panther. Sometimes we would have a great scene almost within our grasp, only to have the tropical torrents spoil our chances. "But, in the end, we got what we went after. There's a fight be tween a black panther and a croc odile, a water buffalo and a py thon, a man and a python, a tiger and a lion, a Malayan bear and a hyena, and many more.

I Ml OFFERED IT STATE "Morning Glory," now showing at the State, is the story of a fighter and a dramatic romance with New York's colorful Broad way as its background. It presents Katharine Hepburn, the screen's most interesting per sonality, as a girl who believes in herself, who knows she has the talents to become a great actress. In stirring fashion, it de picts her courageous fight to win recognition, with its disappoint ments. Its heartbreaks and its final triumph. It gives Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., one of the strongest roles of his career, as a young theatrical pro ducer who believes in the strug gling girl, and eventually teaches her the meaning of love, and it presents Menjou as a fascinating man-of-the-world. . For her superb performance in "Morning Glory," Miss Hepburn has been cited as one of the three most likely to receive the coveted award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Her rivals are Diana Wynyard and May Robson.
