JOE E. BROWN DOUBLES
Joe E. Brown is learning the hard way what it means to play a dual role in motion pictures. The comedian is starred in Columbia’s ‘ So You AVon’t Talk,’ playing a meek newspaper book reviewer and a gang lord, and lie lias had only one day off in four weeks. What is more, ho won’t got another day of rest, Sundays excepted, until the picture finishes. In one day, shooting double exposures in which Brown appeared in scones with himself, he changed his clothes and make-up ‘22 times. To complicate matters the story written by Richard Flournoy calls for each of the characters to impersonate the other.
