MADE IN TWO LANGUAGES
CHEVALIER’S NEXT PICTURE A first step toward solving the language problem in talkies will be made in Maurice Chevalier’s next talking picture, “The Big Pond.” which Paramount will produce in French as well as English dialogue. The innovation should prove a boon to French picture-goers, and is only the beginning of what is to follow in film production. The French version will be an exact duplicate of the original with the exception of the dialogue and both versions will be filmed simultaneously. Paramount will engage a woman for Chevalier able to speak both languages.
Maurice Chevalier has recently completed his second talking, singing and dancing picture for Paramount, “The Love Parade,” at the Hollywood studios. “The Love Parade,” which is the screen's first original operetta, features Jeanette MacDonald. -Lupino Lane, Lillian Roth and Eugene Pallette in the supporting cast.
The theme song for Marion Davies’s “Marianne,” her first Aletro-Goldwyn-Mayer starirng talkie, is setting a new record as a popular seller. Althougn the picture has just been released, the number, written for the production by Roy Turk and Fred -Ahlert, is rated as ■one of the ten biggest sellers throughout the country.
