After searching for more than a week for an Italian youth with one arm, the Paramount casting department discovered John Risso. a San Francisco boy. who met every requirement.

Now Risso is playing one of the most important supporting roles ’ n “Street of Chance,” W llliam Fowell’s latest starring all-talking picture.
