Other actors rush in where Ronald Colman fears to tread—the studio projection room where daily "rushes" (scenes "shot" during the day)'of current productions are shown. Colman doesn't stay away from the screening of his scenes through any sense of modesty. "They leave me depressed," he says.

Supporting him in "Lost Horizon" are Jane Wyatt, Edward Everett Horton, H. B. Warner, Sam Jaffe, Margo, Isabel Jewell. John Howard, and Thomas Mitchell.
