Hay’s new film is titled "Dandy Dick,’ and is based upon the play by Sir Arthur Pinero. It will be made under the direction of William Beaudine, one of Hollywood’s cleverest and best directors of comedy. At the same time Hay will be finishing off his last shots of "Radio Parade of 1935," in which he is playing the role of the Director-General of a broadcasting station. ‘he success of "Those Were the Days," which introduced Will Hay to cinema-goers, proved that typical.

In "Dandy Dick’ he will play the role.of a viliage vicar who sets out to raise funds for his church steeple which sadly needs reconstruction.

Both have proved themselves expert horsemen and fortunately have not had to be dowbled,
