UNIQUE STAGE SETTINGS
Even on settings confined to tlae limitations of the theatre stage, the sound pictures can outdo the theatre in unique and striking settings, Harry Richman, Broadway song favourite who is starring in the United Artists picture, “Puttin’ On The Ritz,” has discovered. Several settings which appear in Richman’s picture supposedly taking place in a Broadway revue, outdo anything the stage could possibly achieve, the star declares. The one tremendous advantage in scenes of this sort Richman says, is the fact that the film settings need not be designed with an eye to moving them rapidly on and off stage. “If one New York producer could put on a scene such as the ‘Puttin’ On The Ritz’ musical number, he would be the sensation of Broadway,” Richman says. “Yet motion picture audiences have become so accustomed to brilliant scenes it may not even draw comment.”
