“NOAH’S ARK”
COMING TO ST. JAMES Much discussion has been aroused in motion picture circles as to the flood scenes in Warner Brothers’ “Noah’s Ark,” which comes to the Ht. James Theatre on Saturday next for an extended run. Darryl F. Zanuck. who supervised the production, admits it was one o: the most colossal tasks ever faced in the making of any super-feature. Both Zanuck and Jack L. Warner generously give credit for these sequences to Fred Jackman, who is responsible for the photographic effects. Warner Brothers provided Jackman with a crew of 125 men, who started working on the production two monthahead of Michael Curtiz, the director, and xvho were kept busy for more than three months after the taking of the final scenes. __ Besides the flood scenes, Jackman was called in for sensational spec- j tacular effects in both the Biblical and j modern episodes of “Noah’s Ark.” “Noah's Ark” has an all-star cast headed by Dolores Costello. George \ O’Brien, Noah Beery and Louise j Fazenda, and in many scenes as many { as 10.000 extras are used. 1 Ludwign Berger.
